[net.micro] What's a good Fortran-77 for the M68000?

Some friends of mine want to buy an M68000.  They were quite
impressed by the Sage-II (especially the year's free maintenance
offer), BUT the Fortran compiler you get with the UCSD p-system
does not conform to any known standard.  It may be the cat's
pyjamas for writing programs in, but they're interesting in
using existing F77 (and F66!) programs,     {interested^}
NOT in writing their own.

	Does anyone know of a good standard-conforming compiler?
Ability to handle existing F77 and/or F66 programs is more
important than the speed of the object code.

	Does anyone know of any good statistics packages which
have been ported to the M68000?  GENSTAT would be ideal, but 
MINITAB or BMDP would do.  (Not SPSS.  That joke's worn thin.)

	Does anyone know of any good structural engineering
packages which have been ported to the M68000?  Especially ones
relating to designing with concrete.

	Thanks.
