[comp.unix.sysv386] Fortran Compilers for 386 Unix

rcstack@rwa.urc.tue.nl (Studenten Vereniging Stack) (04/23/91)

Hi, 

I'm looking for a Fortran (yucc) compiler for Unix 386. f2c doesn't do the
job since I need to run a large package which originates from a
VMS VAX. There has been made extensive use of structs, records and
other non fortran 77 extensions. I know Microsoft's Fortran but
after using the DOS and OS/2 version I am not very impressed
(80286 code). I know that LPI makes a Fortran for 386 Unix's
and would like to know more of it.


So, which Fortran compilers are available, which have the VAX fortran
extensions and what do they cost. I will summarize to the net.

Thanks in advance.

We have been using the MicroWay Fortran compiler for over a year now. One of
the main reasons we chose it was for its VAX compatiblity (e.g. end-of-line
comments, structures, includes, etc.) It also yields fast executables giving
both 387 and Weitek 3167 support.
