I'm looking for a compiler that provides a *full* implementation of Fortran 77 that will run under PCDOS. It needs to be a large model compiler that allows the use of overlays. I've been told that only the DRI F77 meets all three of those criteria. Others either don't provide the large model or overlays or are F77 subsets and don't allow substrings or other features I need. I need the compiler for porting existing large programs so just not using those features is not practical. The problem is, I have the DRI F77 and there are a couple of things I really don't like about it. It runs out of symbol table space when compiling what are, for my programs, relatively small files, for example. Does anyone know of another compiler that might fit my needs? Send me mail and I will summarize to the net. Thanks. Doretta Schrock Tektronix, Inc. (503) 685-3659 ...tektronix!tekecs!dorettas

Have you looked into the new MS compiler? I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and have been quite pleased so far...it has no 64k segment limit which makes it one-step ahead of the xenix c-compiler. Roger Koenker koenker@uiucuxc
