Elete Corporation (4129 May St., Wichita, KS 67209 (316) 942-6619
has announced a Fortran 77 for their 16032/32032 system called
the Consultant (I or II).  Their operating system, PVS, supports
some rather advanced features, and it appears that Fortran is a
high priority language.  They have published floating point benchmarks
which indicate that their work station runs FTN about 5 times as slow
as VAX 11/780 with the FPA under VMS and about 6 times as fast as
the Universe 68/05 (no FPU) and 3.5 times as fast as Apollo 68010 with
FPU.  The only other 16032 workstation i am familiar with, the LMC,
uses the HCR Unix op. sys., and according to my benchmarks it runs 10 to 20
times slower than VAX 11/780 Unix (with FPA).
