Message-ID: <11520@lee.SEAS.UCLA.EDU> Date: 3 Sep 93 04:38:47 GMT Sender: news@SEAS.UCLA.EDU Organization: School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, UCLA Lines: 19 i would like to configure my 486dx2/66 so that it can do * multitasking and has the * ability to perform some of my number crunching through fortran programs (32-bit compiler a must) these are hard constraints (especially the second). so far i have not been able to locate any fortran compiler for 386bsd (or Linux). do i have to look into other operating multitasking operating systems (OS/2, NT) or should i settle for regular dos/windows 3.1 software (ms powerstation fortran)? the f2c solution does not solve my problem since i have found that such software is not robust and very user unfriendly (think about debugging). thanks, dennis.
