I colleague of mine at Argonne National Lab needs to compile some analysis routines written in Fortran on a PC running DOS. I would appreciate hearing from people with with Fortran experience on what compiler they would recommend for DOS systems. Commercial responses are welcome also. -- - Terry terry@wag.caltech.edu 818-397-2724 818-585-0918 (FAX) Terry Coley, Caltech 139-74, Pasadena, CA 91125

The Engineering department at Virginia Tech requires that freshman engineers use WatFor as their fortran compiler. I have heard varing reports on how good it is. Keep in mind that they get the educational version. But it should be decent for simple compilations. ----- Becky Lawrence | I saw you two days ago, I saw you rebeccal@csugrad.cs.vt.edu | yesterday, I saw you today, but I VPI & SU | must see you tomorrow as well....

Keep in mind that they get the educational version. But it should Oh, no! I remember WATFOR (Waterloo Fortran) is most unreliable compiler I have seen. It has one nice thing: can edit program like in Turbo Pascal/C/... but results from running correct program compiled using it are usually incorrect! Most reliable I have seen is LAHEY, next is Microsoft Fortran (but MS F. doesn't detect integer overflow).

Thanks to those who responded to my inquiry. Few details were mailed direct to me that were not posted also, so I will only summarize people's votes: 2 for Microsoft Fortran 1 for Intel Fortran 1 for Waterloo Fortran 1 against Waterloo Fortran 2 for Lahey Fortran 1 moderate against Lahey Fortran -- - Terry terry@wag.caltech.edu 818-397-2724 818-585-0918 (FAX) Terry Coley, Caltech 139-74, Pasadena, CA 91125
