HOWEVER, it is not at all ANSI compliant, though there are pieces in there. They are promising more in November. The support from them is top notch - the best I have gotten from any PC software supplier. Compared to Microsoft - who gives NO SUPPORT WHATEVER ALONG WITH THEIR COMPILER PRODUCTS (I have a written note from a Microsoft employee to that effect!) - they are very helpful. The documentation in the present state sucks - would you believe that part of it is about, and the examples are in, Fortran? Doug MCDonald
