DOes it support a coprocessor(80x87)? I have used Lahey Personal a little bit. I would rate it very favorably against MS Fortran. I would qualify this, because I have never used it for a large project. Generally, I compile numeric routines and link them with a larger C program. Yes it does support 80x87 coprocessor. Floating point emulation is supported as well. I have also been favorably impressed by the responsive support from Lahey. Not many companies support $100 products this well. -- Doug.
