I would agree totally.  I've been running Salford Fortran on our Prime
for four years now, and it's a *fine* compiler.  An incredible array
of compile-time and runtime options, all easily specified.  Best part
about Salford is that it gets out of your way!  Set it up and (nearly)
forget it's there.  And for the inevitable crash-burn iterations, I
have really come to appreciate the contents-of-variables dumps it
gives.  Many compilers do this, but Salford's is neat, quick and brief.
