[comp.lang.fortran] Fortran-77 for Suns

stevek@squid.ucsb.edu (Steve Keifling) (09/20/88)

Apologies if this subject has come up before, but is anyone out there
using a good Sun Fortran77 compiler?  The "standard" f77 compiler has
been known to do generally uncool things (it is particularly fond of
random core dumps) as well as giving some fantastically obtuse error
messages. There's got to be something better out there!  We are
especially interested in the availability of source-level debuggers.
I have found a listing for "LPI-Fortran" from Language Processors Inc.
in the Sun 3rd-party vendor catalog...  any recommendations?

We have two Sun/3's and a number of frustrated grad students.  Any 
advice will be greatly appreciated.
