I am trying to decide which version of Absoft MacFORTRAN would be better
for me.  I plan to use the fortran for mostly number crunching, using various
numerical routines.  The machine will be a Mac IIcx or IIci, with at least
4M of RAM.  My options are MacFortran/020 and MacFortran/MPW, which, as the
name implies, runs under MPW.  I am totally unfamiliar with MPW, so could 
someone tell me the differences or advantages of running fortran under MPW?
Also, how much does MPW cost?  The code produced by the MPW version is 
supposed to run much faster, according to Absoft.

Please reply by email.  This group has far too much traffic!

Thanks for any information!
