- I would appreciate those with relevent information to email me
- directly. I'll fold the responses into the Jan edition of the faq. It
- is best if the information is authortative, however, rumors will be
- marked as such.
-
- Q29) What are the various compiler vendors doing about Fortran 90?
-
- This is by no means a definitive listing <khb>
-
- IBM's xlf 2.3 compiler for the RS6000 has partial Fortran 90 included.
- Some features are implemented in the base compiler others are
- implemented via preprocessor support (user has choice of KAP or VAST).
-
- DEC has publically claimed '93 as a target for a Fortran 90 + HPF
- product.
-
- SunPro has publically announced a technology agreement with NAG; the
- result to be an integration of the NAG front end with the SunPro
- optimizer, backend, and programming environment.
-
- CRI has not, to this author's knowledge (khb), provided dates for
- their Fortran product; however they have discussed the product with a
- wide range of users.
-
- HP has publically announced a phased implementation approach; the
- order of feature implementation to be customer driven.
-
- NAG has a full implementation, which functions via a translation step
- to C. It is available on a variety of platforms. See "Q2 above".
-
- Lahey has a Fortran 90 front end project, a final compiler has not
- been announced.
-
- PSR's VAST-90 is available (see Q2 above).
-
- Kuck and Associates is said to have a translator (evidence, it is
- included as part of xlf 2.3) to f77.
-
- Parasoft (see Q2 above).
