In trying to decide whether or not to use VMS or Ultrix on one of our
new machines (a MicroVAX II), the politics has come down to the decision
that if we can get a good FORTRAN compiler to run under Ultrix, we will
go with that, otherwise it is VMS.  Now, for reasons of systems management
(I don't want to get into religious debates over the relative virtues of
VMS and Unix) most of the programmers and system managers in the lab would
like to continue with Unix, so...

I'm looking for pointers, testimonials, addresses and basically
recommendations from anyone out there who might have gone through 
this before and has something to recommend.  As can probably be guessed
from this, f77 is NOT a viable option.  We are looking for something that
produces EFFICIENT number-crunching code, and is hopefully compatible with
FORTRAN IV, and, of course, it must run on VAXen.

Please MAIL me any responses.  Of course, if there is sufficient interest, I
will post a summary to the net.

 DEC has recently announced that it is offering the very same Fortran
 compiler under Ultrix that it has been offering under VMX so your choice
 should be easy.
