A user at my site is working on in-house Fortran programming standards. We use IBM, Apollo, CRAY, and Honeywell systems as well as VAXes, and she would like to summarize differences among each of those machines' Fortran compilers. Each of the others provides a nice table like summary; but DEC's documentation doesn't (or she can't find it). The differences are well documented in the manuals with blue ink - but going thru the manaul page by page to summarize them in an unappealing task. Is there a summary in the docs somewhere, or has someone else already done one which they'd be willing to share? Thanks.

John, One place to start would be DEC's _FORTRAN-10/20 and VAX-11 FORTRAN Compatibility Manual_ The copy I have is order number AA-Y868A-TK, dated 1983, but there is probably a more recent edition. I hope this helps. Selden E.

try the VAX FORTRAN Language Summary (AV-M763B-TE) [little brown book].... it is about 50 3"x5" pages long, coded in color, it should do exactly what you want. -ed cetron cetron@cs.utah.edu
