I believe the new IBM compilers for FORTRAN and Pascal are IBM-developed and
not Microsoft products being sold by IBM (as was the case with the earlier
ones).  On the FORTRAN, my understanding is that IBM's product still has
memory management problems not shared by the current Microsoft version.
Given IBM's record of support on the compilers, and its absolute refusal to
report bug fixes until begged, I see no reason not to get the current
Microsoft products.

Or use C.
