Fortran lovers take heart! My lab ordered yet another copy of Microsoft Fortran, which arrived on Wednesday. Well I thought, might as well open it up to see if the HFS version is shiping yet... Lo and Behold, version 2.2 with the long awaited HFS compatibility. Since they are shipping v2.2, we ought to be able to get our older v2.1 copies upgraded at last. Note: The HFS compatibility consists of accepting pathnames, and a few default search paths. Not great, but it works. There are some additional features, but nothing too exciting. Sure does fly on my DataFrame though. I don't use it enough to comment further, just thought people would like to know that it EXISTS. Dave Burnard burnard@lll-lcc.ARPA

Yes, it exists and is currently being used in a Fortran 77 programming
class (600++ students) here at uiucdcs. I would appreciate exchanging
notes from time to time with anyone using 2.2; shall we start an
informal mailing list? If interested, please send me email:
