We have been using Sun-3/280s as interactive machines for our undergraduate programming classes and we are generally pleased with the hardware setup. However, our instructors like to know if there are better C and Fortran compilers available for instructional purposes? The system's C and f77 are not very helpful in their diagnostic messages and sometimes confuse our users who are learning the languages for the first time. If you have better experiences with other commercially available compilers for Suns, please send me a note. I will post a summary if I get enough responses. Thanks much. paul paul@math.ucla.edu
