As far as I know, Zortech is the only commercial C++ 32-bit protected mode
compiler for MSDOS available right now.  I expect there to be at least 3 
and maybe as many as 6 available by the end of the year.  I have not tried
to access Fortran with it, although I believe it is supposed to.

I just got a beta version of one in that is supposed to work well with 
Metaware High C (Metaware C++ is 'under construction').  I haven't tested
it yet, but the vendor (who shall remain nameless, until I have permission
to make it public) claims to have rather outstanding code and will probably
have graphics (Flash Graphics) and other third party library support 
available when it is released (next month I think... send me mail if you
want more information when it is available).

Lahey also ships a Fortran (again, I haven't used it) which generates 32-bit
protected mode code.
