First, I've just started to subscribe to this newsgroup so my apollo-gies if this has been covered before. I am in the process of porting some FORTRAN programs from a VAX running BSD4.3 to a newly acquired DN10000 running Domain O.S. 10.0 . I'm using the BSD environment. Now the questions: 1) Has anyone had problems in porting their code to this machine. (I invoke f77 which calls ftn automatically). Or more bluntly, what are the known BUGS in this compilier( The version we have is Fortran 77 compiler PRISM Rev 10.5(15)) 2) Is it source code compatable with f77 on BSD systems? E.G.: can I just type make and expect a succesful compilitation. 3) What types of problems should I expect because of the 64 bit architecture. 4) Apollo quotes a perfromance of 4x's that of a SUN 4/260, has anyone had a chance to verified this independently.

You'll then be able to judge for yourself where it ranks. Look for it in comp.sys.apollo and comp.arch around Feb 6.
