[comp.sys.next] Fortran compiler vendor and pricing STILL needed

davison@menudo.uh.edu (Dan Davison) (09/19/90)

Thanks to all that responded.  All suggested using f2c, strongly
suggesting that NeXT has a MAJOR market hole in science/engineering
where Fortran is well established.

In any event, my code causes f2c to choke and die and refuse to put
out any code at all.  This code does some bit-shifting; it runs on
Crays, CDCs, IBM 308x, 3090, 43x1, Univacs, Suns, Mips, PCs, ... you
get the drift.  f2c can't cut it.

So my original question still stands -- I would like to get info on
Fortran for the NeXT.  BTW, found out with a phone call that Absoft
Fortran is $995, $750 with academic discount, but that's still a
little high.  Any others out there?

thanks,
