[lug] fortran compiler

[Richard A. Perkins]

Hugh,

The public Fortran compiler g77 seems to work well on most clean Fortran
77 code.  It is not as robust or forgiving as some of the commercial
ones.  I have tried the Portland Group pgf77 and pghpf compilers.  I
found the Portland Group licensing to be too restrictive (1 user node
locked).  I have also tried the NAG Fortran 90 compiler (actually a
front end for gcc).  My favorite commercial compiler at this point is
the Fujitsu Fortran 95 compiler.  It is robust with very good
compilation and runtime diagnostics.  I can run the compiler on my
ancient fortran and it works without complaining.  Also it is quite
inexpensive.  It is available either through Fujitsu of Lahey.
