I would like to obtain a Fortran 77 compiler to use with my 520ST, and
need to know what is available, where (mail-order, as none of my
local dealers know anything about fortran), and the costs.  Any comments
anyone could give on the various software's performance/reliability/support
would also be greatly appreciated.  Is there anything PD available?  Is
there ever likely to be fortran running under ST MINIX?  The only two that
I have heard of, but know nothing about are Prospero's PRO FORTRAN and
Absoft's AC FORTRAN. Can anyone who has used/seen both give me their
impressions?  Please reply directly to me, and I will post a summary
of the replies to the net.  Thanks in advance.
