Can anyone help here please. It seems a valid Quick programming query to me.

I've just installed the intel fortran [95] (ifort) compiler since i've been told, anecdotally, that it generates very fast linux i86 code. On trying it (on some f77 code!) i get various errors which i suspect relate to the old g77 "no-second-underscore" problem. There are some ifort options that look as though they're relevant (-nus) but don;t match no-second-underscore exactly (and don;t get rid of the error messages. So, i guess my query is: do you have, or know who has, any experience with this compiler, with a view to fixing up my makefile?
