Rich and there is also the gnu project for a public domain fortran 77 compiler, a.k.a. "g77". the compiler is currently in alpha test. for more information (in particular, how to subscribe to the info-gnu-fortran list), finger -l fortran@gnu.ai.mit.edu. this is a true compiler, not a translator. however, it relies on gcc for the final pass(es) (at least this is what i have understood). -- Furio Ercolessi Materials Research Laboratory | Intl School for Advanced Studies Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign | Trieste, Italy furio@uiuc.edu | furio@sissa.it
