Second, if it is Fortran and g77 can compile it, then gfortran should be able to compile it without problems. If you want to see a performance comparison of gfortran 4.1 with other compilers, see http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~tburnus/benchmark/polyhedron05.html -- SteveReceived on Sat May 27 2006 - 14:10:37 UTC
