[net.micro] request info on microsoft fortran version 3

dgary@ecsvax.UUCP (09/30/83)

   This is a second attempt, aimed at a wider audience than before:
   Microsoft has introduced a new FORTRAN for 8086/8088 systems such
as the IBM PC.  This is FORTRAN 77 version 3.x.  When it first came
out there were several comments posted on initial impressions.  I'd
like to hear more.  How fast does it compile?  How fast does it run
without an 8087?  Does it really eat 192K to compile?  Any bugs seen
so far?

Thanks in advance,
