Having looked at the last 400 messages in this group I have
not seen the answers to my questions could someone please respond.

I am in the need for a f77 campatible fortran compiler for
our pc to be used in conjunction with our part of the Collision 
Detection Facility project at Fermilab.  I need to write fortran 
code compatible with their cybers (sp).  It is an absolute must 
that it be as f77 compatible as possable and wherever not it must 
be documented (I wish).  I know compatibility can sometimes be achieved
by avoiding the use of extensions, but I have experienced implementations 
where the standard is not suported.

Fortran extensions are ok but not really neccessary, I would
just end up having to get rid of somewone elses watfiv code.
Just the standard please.  

-o Cost is a realitively minor consideration. >$500 is a no go I think.
-o F77 Compatable!!!!
-o 8087 support.
-o Fast exicution.
-o All the good things you would want is a fortran compiler I guess.

I am also interested in an VI'ish editor (the more VI the better), 
I found one mention of Brief, anyone else?
