VAX Fortran seems to be pretty good, period.  I like Un*x much better
than VMS, I prefer C over Fortran any day, but I *love* the VAX
Fortran compiler!  It is dependable, fast, produces code that is
amazingly good, and it interfaces very well with its' environs.  C
compiler writers, please take note!
