I just found out that Cray bought Supertek at the end of March. Can anyone tell me more? -Drew ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Bennett MIT Supercomputer Consultant The comments stated are not Rm. 11-124H, 77 Massachusetts Ave. representative of MIT.

I've not been down to Supertek since January or so.
But they were testing a naive Unix. Since then, I've heard
they are now just a shell of a building. You would have to
talk to CRI about them. You really must make some distinction between
CCC and CRI. [Note: got fun mail from both companies about how
ones goes and purchases a Cray-2, if you really want one.]
My major observation was Supertek had purchased the SCS Fortran compiler.
It behaved like the CIVIC compiler. You know Marty, like placing
temp files in the directory you were working like ETA ftn77.
We were awaiting manuals for evaluation. I would hope for a better
compiling system if CRI takes them over.
P.S. Marty, you (Intergraph), owes me a letterhead on the bibliography.
Must not get Prentice-Hall, Inc. mad. Thank you. 8)
