>Who did the Alpha compiler correponding to the released SPECS?

These were DEC's compilers, for C and FORTRAN.  The compilers are based
on a common front-end back-end system, developed at DEC and first released
more than a year ago (with a Mips back end) as DEC FORTRAN V3 and DEC Ada V1.

>Someone (DEC folks?) care to measure GCC-2.3's Alpha versus HP-PA SPECs?

As the implementers of Zork used to say, feel free...
