53.1Absoft CompilerNOVA::ARNOLDMon Jun 23 1986 15:386
    There is a company called Absoft (sp?) that has a Fortran compiler
    for the Amiga. A friend of mine has it, and said it is very fast
    and generates good code. It comes with a symbolic debugger. I think
    is retails for about $300.

53.2Absoft swallowed up yet?SHEILA::PUCKETTFortran will Never DieWed Jun 25 1986 04:4710

    Microsoft recently bought the Absoft Fortran 77 compiler for the
    Macintosh and marketed it themselves; it is an excellent product.
    I have used it on a friend's Mac and like it very much. I wonder
    if Microsoft have the company or just the product?

53.3More on AbsoftLATOUR::RMEYERSRandy MeyersWed Aug 20 1986 23:047
Absoft seems to be a fairly legitimate software house.  The BASIC for
the Macintosh sold by Microsoft was written by Absoft.  I seem to
remember reading that the FORTRAN compiler for the Macintosh that is
marketed by Microsoft was also written by Absoft.

I have seen an ad for their FORTRAN compiler in Amiga World's Sept/Oct
issue.  Price: $295.
53.4VAX Fortran features?MAADIS::WICKERTMAA DIS ConsultantWed Dec 23 1987 14:3015
    
    What type of VAX Fortran features does the Absoft F77 compiler have?
    
    How about;
    
    	Long identifiers
    	if - end if blocks?
    	DO While
    	implicit none
    	records (of any sort?)
    
    Thanks,
