Three months or so ago I stopped by Sun's demo room with a tape full of
fortran code which used VMS very heavily. We had been able to get it to
compile under Ultrix with a minimum of fuss (15 minutes), but spent all
afternoon pulling our hair out at Sun. Has anyone USED Sun's new compiler
successfully?
