There is also Absoft Fortran, which I believe the company is no longer
actively working on upgrades for (?), and a German 68000-based fortran
compiler which I got a doc for a long time ago but never had any luck
contacting the author to get a recent version of. It came out of CERN
or some similar physics-type envionment, and didn't look robust enough
to compile my typical zillion-line programs.

Absoft is the company that wrote Mac Fortran for Microsoft. They're
also a bunch of physicists :-)
