Try Lahey Personal F77L (I think that's what it is called) and it sells
for US99.00!! (Last I heard anyways). It is supposingly a subset of the
big brother Lahey F77L which is a full-blown Fortran-77 with many
(VMS-like) extensions. It compiles fast, executation speed is not bad
either; good error messages. The only trouble (difference bettwen it and
its brother) is that you are limited to 64K arrays.
