We have Absoft and Language Systems.  There used to be a lot of problems
with Absoft, and there still are some, such as the fact that the linker
occasionally decides not to work.  One of our scientists has done a lot
of good stuff with FaceIt and Absoft.

I use Language Systems.  On the research codes we have tried, it produces
code which is significantly faster than that which Absoft produces on 
Mac II's with a 68881.  I really like being able to write my user interface
in Object Pascal and limit FORTRAN to the number crunching and porting of
dusty decks.  LS also has an adequate console window if you don't want to
do any work on the interface at all.
