[net.micro.amiga] Queries on F77 & TEK41XX Emulators

[ Is this really neede

I would like to get some information about the following products
for the Amiga. While one of them may not be available, there is a
niche for it to fill, and it should be filling that niche. I'm
inclined to believe that others on the net may also be interested,
so please reply to the net.

1) This one exists - ABSOFT FORTRAN COMPILER (F77)

Has anyone out there used this yet? If so, could you give the rest of
us some idea of how it performs? (Compliance to F77, the library man-
ager, the debugger, speed, what is included in the library, ease of
interfacing to C, random thoughts, or just anything!)

(C purists please take note - no flames please. Engineers have to
program too :-)

2) This one may not exist - TEKTRONIX 41XX TERMINAL EMULATOR

With the great graphics which the Amiga has, it seems that someone,
somewhere must be working on a Tektronix 4100 Series terminal emulator.
Does anyone know of such a program in the works or in the stores?
If this program is not available, does anyone know of another colour
graphics terminal emulator (AED, RAMTEK, etc.) which may be available
for the Amiga?

(If there is a TEK4109 emulator which can capture the screen image in
an IFF format file, THAT would be exactly what I'm looking for!)
