/* ---------- "Fortran compiler help (for Mac)" ---------- */

I would like to port Fortran some programs from our VAX and PC's on to a
MAC II and would apreciate any comments/recommendations on Fortran
compilers available for the Mac.

There are only really two FORTRAN compilers worth anything for the mac.  One is
Absorft FORTRAN020 and the other is Language Systems FORTRAN for MPW.  Both are
good, Language Systems is better.  Since it is MPW, you can link C routines
much more easily than for the Absoft.  Mac interface is also easier to add if
you want it.  Also Language Systems supports 8x and VAX extensions, Absoft
doesn't.
