Mansfield) Organization: University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Lines: 12 OK, now for a major question, not all of us have time to rewrite all our old code in C. So the question is what are the compilers that will be available for the nExt machine? Will the company support anything or will it be up to some gallant third party hackers to generate the necessary compilers to let everyone else use the beast? Sorry to mention Fortran, but I use it.
