I've done some work with Microware's FTN77, too. I would agree to not great.
No cross reference listings of variables, for example.  (I hope, I haven't 
missed it (:-)).  Oregon Software is working on a Pascal compiler as far as I 
know, but it's not out yet.  I had some trouble with large arrays in connection 
with the 68020 library of the FTN 77.
