We are planning to buy a moderate-sized UNIX system for student use for next year. We will be transferring some of the Computing Studies teaching to this system from our current VAX systems (running under VMS). Several of the subjects being considered have major language teaching components. I don't have a very good feeling for the quality of UNIX compilers (other than C). The VMS compilers are pretty good; it's a hard act to follow! Please can I have advice from the UNIX community on quality compilers (or ones to avoid like the plague). Email, please; I'll summarise if there is interest in that. (It should not cost overseas respondents to mail to Australia; we pay for incoming mail). The major languages we need (in rough decreasing order of importance) are: COBOL Pascal FORTRAN C Modula-2 Ada Chris Rusbridge Academic Computing Service Manager, SA Institute of Technology ACSnet: Chris.Rusbridge@levels.sait.oz [.au] InfoPSI: Chris.Rusbridge@sait.edu.au (DTE 505282622004) Phone: +61 8 343 3098 Fax: +61 8 349 6939 Post: The Levels, SA 5095 Australia
