Most of the time this discount is almost 50%. Have her check at the Georgia Tech book store for Microsoft Fortran it is about the best one out there and includes the CodeView debugger. I do not know what the list price is so this may still be expensive. What major is she and/or what class is she taking? If it is the intro EE Fortran class, then it is not worth wasting any money over. The assignments are short and easy. If she is a EE I think that the HP Vectra lab in the EE building has Fortran. If none of this works, I may have an old version of Microsoft Fortran I can sale for a low price. Microsoft will allow me to transfer ownership to your daughter and she could upgrade it for the normal user upgrade price. -----Dale Rogerson----(GA Tech Grad '88)
