My company is in somewhat desperate need of a cross compiler for FORTRAN
which runs under UNIX 4.3BSD and its close relatives on Vaxes and MicroVaxes,
and which produces code for the Intel 8086/8087 family.  In-line floating
point is essential, as is large arrays and COMMON's (greater than 64K).
Cross-calling for a C compiler (Lattice or Microsoft or Aztec) would be
very nice, but not essential.
     Is anyone aware of such a beast?  We have been quoted costs of several
hundred thousand dollars for a contract to produce one by a couple of the
better-known companies selling native-mode MSDOS cross compilers.  Please
reply directly to me, and I will summarize if response warrants.  Thanks!
