Subj:  Compilers for the Rainbow
From:  Marty Zimmerman <MARTYZ@IDUI1.BITNET>

John D. Proctor <proctor!jdp!ingr@uu.net.uunet> asked about compilers:

I just read the  query about FORTRAN and C compilers in the Info-Dec-Micro
digest.  The command-line version of Borland's Turbo C works fine on the
Rainbow.  None of the graphics libraries work, of course, but I found that
they were easy to avoid for most programming tasks.  Microsoft FORTRAN will
also work on the Rainbow, but I don't have any experience with any of their
competition.  One thing I know for sure: Microsoft FORTRAN is very slow to
compile and link.  Both are probably only available on IBM-format, double-
sided diskettes.  The newest version of FORTRAN comes with Code-View, which
will probably not work on the Rainbow.

wasn't such an EXPENSIVE paper-weight!   :-(
