I understand your problem with the Absoft Librarian.

A collegue of mine has persuaded me to try Prospero Fortran because
it supports libraries from mixed languages.  Prospero C and Prospero
Pascal routines are supposedly easy to incorporate into Prospero 
Fortran executables.  The GEM bindings for Prospero Fortran also appear 
to be much cleaner than those for Absoft.  Given these factors and an 
absence of support for the ST from Absoft, my next programming venture 
will use Prospero rather than Absoft.



I don't know whether you have invesigated Prospero Fortran or not. If 
anyone has had contrary experience I would hope that they would speak 
up.



Could you please describe Erlgraph?  I am keenly interested in a good 
FORTRAN graphics package and I might be willing to help with 
development and/or testing.



This is being posted openly rather than as direct mail to see if it 
smokes anyone out of the woodwork.
