Welcome to IWETHEY!

New You don't like g77?
Part of the gnu compiler suite? Has support on Mac OS X BTW.

New It's fine but it's not "real FORTRAN"
It's a front end to a C compiler. A real FORTRAN compiler can do amazing optimizations because it has less to worry about in terms of memory juggling and linking.

Intel/Linux compiler benchmarks: [link|http://www.polyhedron.co.uk/compare/linux/f77bench_p3.html|http://www.polyhedro.../f77bench_p3.html]
Best overall, Lahey ("your FORTRAN source since 1967!")

Intel/Win32 compiler benchmarks: [link|http://www.polyhedron.co.uk/compare/win32/f77bench_p3.html|http://www.polyhedro.../f77bench_p3.html]
Best overall, Intel

I assume these benchmarks are mostly on "real FORTRAN 77" code, without dynamic allocation etc.

New On that note
The scitech guys are funding a feasibility study to port openwatcom to linux.

We didn't invent the art of wishful thinking... we just market it locally.
