I have heard nothing but horror stories from users of these (not the latest
version, though).  Many bugs and slow.  Use Absoft for Fortran, don't use
Pascal.

Try the GPshell in the Craft package.  No multitasking, otherwise 99% cshell
compatible and fast and small: you can still run LaTeX on a 1meg machine
with foldr200.  It also has nice VMS-like arrow commandline editing.

Just some more info from                            G. J. van Oldenborgh
