Robert J Drabek) but was returned with some sort of address parsing error, hence I post to the net. ========================Message Follows=================================== Message inbox:1 - Sent From: Bruce Hedley To: Subject: lint for VMS 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.
