On a similar topic, I just upgraded to a 386 computer and discovered that not only would code compiled with my Microsoft FORTRAN compiler, version 3.10 not run (it actually locks up the system), the compiler itself also locks it up. I called MS and they say, yep, it's full of bugs when used on 80x86 systems; only solution is to upgrade. So, I am suddenly in the market for a DOS FORTRAN compiler. MS ver 5.0 is $250 for an upgrade. What about others? Should I consider a 386 specific compiler? Which ones? Pointers to reviews would be appreciated. Sorry if this has been beat to death here; reply and I'll summarize if there is interest.
