[net.micro.pc] Fortran compilers for the IBM PC

sct@lanl.ARPA (09/19/85)

	A friend is looking for a good Fortran compiler for his IBM PC.
Are there any recommendations out there?  I've heard of Microsoft
Fortran, IBM Professional Fortran, and Ryan-McFarland Fortran.  Has anyone
had any experience with these?  Are there others I should know about?
Thanks in advance.

in the October, 1985 PC Tech Journal.  This article compares the latest
compilers from Digital Research, IBM (Professional Fortran), Lahey, and 
Microsoft.
