I am somewhat intrested in a FORTRAN compiler. It must support graphics and be able to run on my 520ST. Please send me your suggestions and reasons for your choice. I am also having trouble with irregular boot-ups. I bought my 520ST last Nov. The problem that I am having is that sometimes my machine boots in low res., when my desktop.inf file tells it to boot med res. It also tells me that there is nothing on the disk even after I reset the preferences and reread the disk. Why is this happening? Thanks. Mark Fischer BITNet: MWF8191@tamvenus

I have had things like this happen from time, but never the low res, med res problem, since I use a monochrome system. I suspected the boot disk and switched disk and the problem went away. -- L. J.
