- I don't know whether you'd call it *modern*, but the f77 compiler for
- the GEC OS4000 system probably falls into this category and is still
- in use and supported. It accepts (I think) the long names, but warns
- you and truncates them to 6 characters, but doesn't grok underscores.
- It wants upper case too. I have some affection for it partly for
- sentimental reasons but also because it provides a pretty good test of
- standard-conformance. [It's helped with CCP4, Morten!] Being
- single-pass it's also a speed win, even on 1/2 MIP systems...
