We have an Intel 286 machine with 512K of memory (which is the
problem- read on), running Xenix. We have an Intel FORTRAN
compiler, and MS-BASIC interpreter, neither of which work.

The FORTRAN compiler never has worked, it just kills itself. After
considerable trouble we have learned  that the compiler needs almost
900K to run. Groan, wish we had known that before. We really cant
afford $2000 for more memory. (This is also the reason the latest
version of XENIX cannot be installed.)

So ...

Does anyone know of a smaller FORTRAN compiler that we could use? We
dont need anything too fancy.

Could we use the MS compiler we have for an AT? After all the Intel
compiler has a switch for producing MS object files. (I know, this
borders on a stupid question.)

Any help would be appreciated.
