I've been supporting the Pyramid f77 compiler for almost a year now and
it's looking good, IMHO.  There is one outstanding priority 3 bug
related to an esoteric anomaly in the microcode; it's being worked on
at the moment.  All other outstanding SPR's are priority 4 enhancement
requests.

There are a number of extensions in recent releases of the compiler,
for example unlabelled DO and DO-WHILE loops, etc (contact me for
details).  The code generator is producing better code too.
