I apologise if this has already been disussed in depth.
We are running 4.2BSD UNIX on a VAX 11/750 and need a fast, reliable Fortran
compiler. We have already reinstalled the old 4.1 compiler but even that
crawls compared to a (dare I say it ) VMS kit not a million miles away from us.
As far as our present setup is concerned heavy numerical work is a complete
non-starter. Can anybody give me information about
a) faster fortran under 4.2;
b) use of floating-point accelerators under VAX/4.2.
performance figures are especially welcome. Yours in anticipation
