[net.micro.cpm] *Affordable* CPM-80 Fortran-77 compiler?

knight@nmtvax.UUCP (05/15/85)

I am posting for a person who is not on the net.  She owns a Morrow MV-2
computer and is looking for an affordable F77 compiler.  Does anyone
know of such a beast?

Please reply directly to me.  If there is interest, I will summarize to
the net.

Thanks,
Bob

I don't know about any F77 compilers, but I have seen ads in Byte for
NEVADA FORTRAN from ELLIS COMPUTING, which claims to be F66, for only
29.99 or 39.99 (?), so it certainly is affordable.

Hope this helps.

I have the NEVADA FORTRAN, and it is not 77 -- it's a variant of 66.
At the price it is OK if you desparately need Fortran, but it is not very
transportable, and it lacks much of the necessary f77 features.

As far as I know, there are two other Fortran compilers, but they
are more expensive (but less than $350). One of them is the Microsoft's
and the other one is Supersoft's Fortran compiler.

Hope this helps.
