I am the unhappy owner of MicroSloth Fortrash compilers
b 1.0, 2.0. and 3.1.  I felt so ripped off that I have since
avoided purchasing ANY Microsloth product.  At the moment I
am using RM Fortran, Plink, and PD make.  I still use
MASM 2.0.  I have *really* avoided MS products as much as
possible.

It may become necessary in the near future to use MS Fortran
4.? (4.1, I think) for a project which involves calling routines
compiled in MS languages.  It appears that using MS Fortran would
make my life easier (sic).

So, my question for the net: Has MicroSloth produced a real
Fortran compiler yet?  Is it worth using?

Any and all replies welcome.  Please reply by e-mail, I will
summarize if there is interest.

Thanks very much.

The same people who oppose abortion usually support capital punishment.
Go figure...
