- Bought the AbSoft Fortran and have mixed feelings about it. Code is
- slow, the low-end version does not support the fpu, and it is
- stack based including the common blocks! On the other hand, I've
- never found a bug! It is also a pain that it doesn't support "enddo".
- Oh yes, binary IO is not UNIX-like, and calling C routines doesn't look
- like fun. I'm not sure when the last update was released; however,
- I did read in a magazine that it did not work on the "newly released"
- A4000. (That was a long time ago.)

- You might want to check out the Fred Fish CD-ROMS. Fred ported
