[comp.lang.fortran] Lahey F77L vers. 3.0

E8D@PSUVM.BITNET (09/22/88)

Information from the Lahey Computer Systems Inc. Newsletter which may be of
interest to people wanting a FORTRAN compiler for ibm pcs and compatibles.

Lahey F77L 3.0 fortran compiler is now available.  This is a complete
implimentation of fortran 77 with some extensions. New features include:

     Math Coprocessor emulation.

     Borland and Microsoft C interfaces.  C code may be linked directly
into your fortran program.  Fortran subroutines can be called from TurboC.
To call subroutines from Microsoft C an F77L main must call the C main
as if it were a subprogram.  Support for Lattice C is continued in this
version of the compiler.

     A library manager is included.

     Lahey's F77L-EM/32 80386 fortran which runs under AI architect's
operating system and can address up to 4 Giga-Bytes of memory is now
available as is the 80286 version EM/16.  Anybody know anything about
these?  Is the operating system decent?

     There is also a new version of the personal fortran which sounds
ok if you only write tiny programs

   Disclaimer:  I have nothing to do with Lahey except that I use their
compiler & quite like it.  It's fast and has useful error messages.  I
rate their customer support to be very good and they fix bugs.
