That's funny.  I've been using HFS compatible Microsoft Fortran (v2.2) since
early September in the course I am teaching here at UI.  So have my 600
students.  Ooops, on second reading I see that you never claimed that v2.2
was not available now.  I should be careful to get my facts straight before
assuming the worst of anyone, shouldn't I.

While I agree that Microsoft has not provided *me* with any support (I would
LOVE to get email from anyone at MS or Absoft willing correspond about the
bug list being compiled by those on our informal MS Fortran mailing list.),
I am not quite ready to claim that MS is not providing anyone *else* with
support.  Shall we take a poll?
