[net.micro.amiga] Fortran Compilers

milo@ndmath.uucp (Greg Corson) (04/04/86)

Does anyone know of a good Fortran compiler that is available NOW for the 
Amiga?  It doesn't have to have a full intuition interface...so long as it
can at least putup a graphics screen (even if I have to write the graphics
bits directly into RAM)

I am trying to port a large existing Fortran graphics program to the Amiga.

Does anyone know of ANY fortran compilers or cross compilers
for ANY 68K machine?

Dear Amigans, 

    I have many specialized data analysis programs here on our VAX
that I need to transfer to my Amiga. Unfortunately, they are written
in F77 and the thought of translating all of them to "Lettuce C" is
positively frightening.  Does anyone out there own Absoft's F77
compiler?  If so, I have some questions:

    1)  How compatible is it with F77 on a VAX?

    2)  Does it support Motorola's FFP routines? The 68881
chip?

    3)  Has anyone done any benchmarks on it yet?

    4)  Are ther any major bugs?

    5)  How easily can you access the Amiga's special functions
(e.g. graphics)?

    6)  Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks ahead of time!!!

P.S.   Does anyone know for sure whether or not the next Lattice
release will support the FFP routines and when it will be out?
