Dr. Weinshank, Pascal posted this reply a couple of months ago. I am also including information on the IMSL Complete FORTRAN Libraries for the NeXT at the end of this message. conrad Begin forwarded message: Date: Fri, 14 Feb 1992 14:56:58 -0500 From: Pascal Gaudette <pascal@nextasy.Physics.McMaster.CA> To: snug@whitewater.chem.wisc.edu Subject: Fortran Compilers Galore! Cc: pascal@nextasy.Physics.McMaster.CA Hello all, A little while back, there were a few posts to this group about Fortran compilers. The consensus seemed to be that you only had the choice between the Absoft F77, or the public domain f2c cross compiler. Well, I was browsing through the (NeXT) winter 92 Software and Peripherals Catalog, and guess what I found? a) Absoft Fortran 77 Well, we knew about this one. Suggested retail $995. Absoft: (313) 853-0050 b) Green Hills Native Fortran Compiler Reviewed in the winter 91 NeXTworld, who gave it only two Cubes. Suggested retail $1000 (down from $1700). Oasys: (617) 862-2002 c) NKR Fortran Apparently a new player! I wonder if they give significant higher ed discounts? Suggested retail: $795 NKR Research Inc.: (408) 249-2612 d) D-F77 Fortran Compiler Another new player! Available Q1/92. Suggested retail: unspecified Diab Data Inc.: (415) 571-1700 Note that I have no affiliation whatsoever with the aforementioned companies; I haven't even *tried* their compilers. However, I wouldn't mind getting a Fortran compiler myself, and I thought this info might be usefull to some of the people on the list. Later, --- Pascal Gaudette pascal@nextasy.physics.mcmaster.ca MacNUG president | *NeXTmail encouraged* graduate student, McMaster university | I am not infallible. Physics and astronomy dep. | These are just my opinions. Also... Absoft Corporation has ported the IMSL Complete FORTRAN Libraries Group to the NeXT environment. The IMSL Libraries consist of nearly 800 exhaustively tested FORTRAN subroutines for use with applications in the fields of mathematics, the sciences, and statistical analysis. Prices start at [..] for a single user license. Volume discounts and site licenses are available.
