Yes Lahey and Fujitsu have a Fortran 77/90/95 compiler suite out for Linux. I have a copy and it works pretty well. Before I purchased the compiler I did some testing by compiling and running computational chemistry software (QM/MM) on my Linux box. The fujitsu compiler is very good and I recommend it for Linux. The compiler does generate some erroneous code in some cases but passing it the -Kfap switch fixes the problem. So apart from this it is definitely a good buy. Juan.
