Summary: try the Lahey Fortran compiler

In the reference, the author complains (bitterly :-)) about the microsoft
MSDOS Fortran compiler.  After looking at what was available, we chose the
Lahey Fortran compiler for our use in porting a set of large libraries from
our mainframes to micros.  The main reason we chose Lahey was that it
supported the full F77 ANSI standard not just the subset.  We have since
found fewer bugs in the compiler than the people around here who chose the
Microsoft compiler and what we feel is a much more professional attitude toward
the user.  Take a look and I think you will like it.
