- Arne,

- I think both MS-FORTRAN v5.0 and v5.1 as well as MicroWay NDP-FORTRAN 486
- (the former is DOS/Windows compiler, the latter is a 386/486 Extended-DOS
- compiler) will do what you want. They both support UNION/STRUCTURE etc.
- MS-FORTRAN has a very low educational price; just $83 (I think) and it is
- not that bad, though I wouldn't classify it as great piece of S/W.
