EPC Fortran 77 is a fully ANSI77 compatible, NIST validated, high
quality, high performance compiler with excellent checking and
diagnostic capabilities as well as an impressive range of VAX/VMS and
Sun Fortran 77 extensions.

EPC compilers are available for Intel 386/486, Motorola 68000 & 88000
and SPARC based systems running the major implementations of UNIX,
including SunOS, UNIX V.2, V.3, V.4, SCO, Interactive and DYNIX.

During the development of EPC Fortran 77 great emphasis was placed on
fast comp- ilation and the provision of comprehensive diagnostic
information.  At compile- time over 300 informative error, warning and
comment messages can be generated.  At run-time checks can be applied
to detect uninitialized variables and array bounds violations and
there is an invaluable option to check the number and type of
parameters in routine calls.  In addition to all these features EPC
Fortran 77 also produces highly optimised executable code.


EPC Fortran 77 supports industry standard debuggers (such as sdb and
dbx) and is fully integrated with the UNIX environment.  EPC Fortran
77 generates standard object files and uses conventional calling
sequences thus enabling convenient mixed language programming.

All these facilities make EPC Fortran 77 an ideal tool for running
existing app- lications, developing new programs and porting from
non-UNIX environments.

EPC compilers are competitively priced and discounts are available for
educatio- nal establishments and bulk orders.
