Is there a Fortran compiler for 386bsd?  

What do you folks think of this idea: replicating a 20-50 Mbyte 
(source & binary & test cases) suite of Unix fortran progs on a
486dx?? laptop for development work. Assuming the compiler exists
(probably can't afford the time to install/use f2c), is 386bsd
likely to be stable enough?  Or any other PC Unix?

Decision time: May. I'd be in a 3rd world country. Alternative:
$10+/hour for login by satellite.
