We have an Intel 286 machine with 512K of memory (which is the problem- read on), running Xenix. We have an Intel FORTRAN compiler, and MS-BASIC interpreter, neither of which work. The FORTRAN compiler never has worked, it just kills itself. After considerable trouble we have learned that the compiler needs almost 900K to run. Groan, wish we had known that before. We really cant afford $2000 for more memory. (This is also the reason the latest version of XENIX cannot be installed.) So ... Does anyone know of a smaller FORTRAN compiler that we could use? We dont need anything too fancy. Could we use the MS compiler we have for an AT? After all the Intel compiler has a switch for producing MS object files. (I know, this borders on a stupid question.) Any help would be appreciated. <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> Thomas Hern Department of Mathematics & Statistics Bowling Green State Univ.

re: Thomas Hern: FORTRAN on Intel 210
Sir, if you are really serious when you say that you don't care to have
anything fancy, you might look into the UNIX-hosted p-System FORTRAN compiler
offered by Pecan Software SYstems, Inc., 1410 39th St., Brooklyn, NY 11218,
718/851-3100.
The run-of-the-mill versions of this cost around $100 or so; perhaps it would
run on your system (although not with blazing speed).
