The problem I have with Absoft is that I am not sure what kind of development
is going on there. Their frontend is Cray's, and I am not sure what happens
in the back? A very important thing for me is that the compiler be maintained
and upgraded as Fortran evolves. Being involved in the development of the new
standards I am not sure Absoft is interested in keeping up. On the other hand
I am more confident that NAG, IBM and Intel will (eventually) get to F2x. But
feel free to correct me.
Thanks,
