[comp.lang.fortran] MS DOS Fortran Compilers

jefu@pawl.rpi.edu (Jeffrey Putnam) (12/01/89)

This is probably One Of Those Questions, but I need the information anyway.
I'd like to get information about fortran compilers for IBM PC class machines
running MS DOS.  

Im interested specifically in hearing about the general quality of the package
and if it includes things like :
    Syntax sensitive editors
    Debuggers
    Graphics
    Numerical Subroutine Libraries
    Other support (ie, tags, pretty printers...)

Price is also of interest, so do mention it if you can.

Please respond by mail and if I get a couple of requests for a summary I will
summarize.

I am considering buying a fortran compiler for my Xenix 386 system. I have
seen both MIcrosoft and LPI advertised.  Any comparisons?  Also price.
I want it for some private work I am doing modelling dissolved oxygen
in rivers.  I have Microsoft on the MS/DOS side, but I want to move
everything to the Xenix side.
