	The following was originally mailed to 
(a.k.a. Robert J Drabek) but was returned with some sort of address
parsing error, hence I post to the net.

	We are using I.P.T.'s FORTRAN-lint here at Whiteshell, and find it
to be a very ease-to-use and useful tool.  It has shown up many oversights
(or omissions) on our part and has helped in Q.A.'ing the code which the
group I work in is developing.  It was recently reviewed in, I believe,
"Digital Review" (within the past six weeks) and received favourable
comments from the reviewer.

	The cost last year was about US $4500 for the package (for a VAX
8650 license). 	The national sales manager is John Dee, and I think you
will find him very straightforward and helpful.

	With regard to Joe Barone's comments to the net (which you likely
have seen), I can only say that I'm amazed.  However, he was dealing with a
different product, perhaps developed by a different group within I.P.T.  Our
experience with I.P.T. has been that for the FORTRAN-lint product, they were
very good at product support, and comments which I passed on to the technical
staff (after demo'ing the package) WERE acted upon, in most cases.
