I am considering the purchase of Microsoft MacFORTRAN.  I would like
the help of anybody whith experience with this product.  I have a
couple of questions;

1.  How compact is the code produced by MacFORTRAN?  If I have a program
    that takes about 300K on a PDP-11, is it likely to fit in a 512K Mac?

2.  How does it benchmark compaired to other languages?

3.  Are there any other FORTRAN implementations for the Mac?

4.  Have you any idea where I might get a good deal on it? The best price
    I have found is $169.  I would consider buying somebodys used copy...

Thanks!
