- I am not at all familiar with the world of OS2, so I'm hoping that someone might
- answer a few questions for me. As part of my research, I do quite a bit of
- fortran programming which requires the use of rather large arrays. When I try
- to run these programs thru Windows, I find I have to do quite a bit of tweaking
- with the compiler settings just to get them to run. Even then, I still don't
- get the correct answers, so I suspect my problem is the wacky memory limitations
- of dos. Anyway, my question is - Are there fortran compilers for OS2 that will
- allow me to run these large programs without having to worry about memory? I
- know that the MS fortran is supposed to run under OS2 but I am quickly losing
- faith in it. Also, I have a 386/40 with 8 megs of ram, is this machine capable
- of handling OS2? How big should my hard drive be? Right now I have a 40 meg
- hd which is compressed with Stacker, but I have heard that Stacker is not
- compatible with OS2. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
