Is there any existing PD/Shareware Fortran compiler for Atari St in existence? Is so, could someone please mail me a copy?? Thanks!!! wayne

To my understanding, it is excellent, but also "big bucks." There is also Absoft Fortran, which I believe the company is no longer actively working on upgrades for (?), and a German 68000-based fortran compiler which I got a doc for a long time ago but never had any luck contacting the author to get a recent version of. It came out of CERN or some similar physics-type envionment, and didn't look robust enough to compile my typical zillion-line programs. Absoft is the company that wrote Mac Fortran for Microsoft. They're also a bunch of physicists :-) Greg Lindahl gl8f@virginia.edu Astrophysicists for Choice.

You must mean the 'Real Time Fortran', used among others by UA1 at CERN (the
guys who discovered the W, the Z and damn nearly supersymmetry). I have only
seen it on a Mac. It is known here as the 'ghost house'. We never managed to
get the 'savage' banchmark to run properly - it would not print 2 numbers (1
was OK), but it has many extensions for real time control of equipment.
My 2c worth on the other 2:
Absoft: fast, extensions, very sloppy syntax checking, no GEM interface worth
speaking of (but who does GEM in Fortran?), cheap, no support.
Prospero: integrated environment (without 'make' and no way to hook mine in),
slow, good debugger, good hooks to GEM, a bit more expensive.
