would like to use it to develop and debug programs, then transport them to a
mainframe (DEC VAX under VMS) and run them there.  My highest priority
criterions are excellent F77 compatability and wonderful debuging facilities.
Nice whistles and bells, like a good editor, ease of use, and PC targeted
extras would be MOST welcomed.  I am thinking of buying the Microsoft FORTRAN,
but if you, the reader of this note, have a favorite FORTRAN compiler, I would
VERY MUCH appreciate if you would send me your recommendation, and perheps the
reason for it.  When I get in few votes (depending on the kindness of the
readers, more than few) I will post to here a short summary to the notes and
attempt to send a copy to each person who sends in her or his suggestion.
Please note that I was advised by our sysmgr that responses are best mailed to
me to the address:

solejni%umbio@umigwa.miami.edu

Thanks in advance for your help!
