My first big coding project was with the VAX FORTRAN (77) compiler on VMS, back in the early 1990s. A really great compiler. I believe Steve contributed quite a bit more to it than just the LIB$ routines. I still use VMS at work, but alas no Fortran there. I write some Fortran stuff at home, but am stuck at Fortran 95 on ALPHA. VMS on Itanium is still going strong, and now older Itanium machines are getting cheap enough for hobbyist use. I have enough ALPHA (and VAX) machines to last me a lifetime, but might start dabbling with Itanium if there is something which really interests me there. I suspect that, for what I am interested in, most of F2003 and F2008 is not something I need, but if so, it would be nice to have a modern Fortran compiler on VMS (presumably Itanium).

There used to be RX2600's available on eBay for about $100 (plus about $70 shipping, and they are pretty heavy). I believe it the one I have is dual 1.3GHz processor and 10GB RAM. Disks aren't included, though. Some have suggested that the machines were once part of a big cluster that was being sold off. -- glen

I know of at least two companies that sold VMS replacement libraries for Windows. The one I can remember, Sector 7, is still in business (www.sector7.com) and still sells VMS migration products and services. I admit to being a bit confused by their web site, though - it mentions Windows as a platform but pretty much everywhere it talks about UNIX only. If Jeff is really stuck, he might give them a call, but I suspect that it will be more than he is willing to spend. -- Steve Lionel Developer Products Division Intel Corporation Nashua, NH For email address, replace "invalid" with "com" User communities for Intel Software Development Products http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/ Intel Software Development Products Support http://software.intel.com/sites/support/ My Fortran blog http://www.intel.com/software/drfortran

From 1988 through 2001, I worked on VAX Fortran, as well as VMS Fortran for DEC Alpha and, of course, DVF/CVF. 1993-1998 I worked on DEC Ada (and VAXELN Ada), and 1978-1983 I was on the VMS Run-Time Library project where I worked on those LIB$ routines, as well as Fortran and Pascal language support. -- Steve Lionel Developer Products Division Intel Corporation Nashua, NH For email address, replace "invalid" with "com" User communities for Intel Software Development Products http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/ Intel Software Development Products Support http://software.intel.com/sites/support/ My Fortran blog http://www.intel.com/software/drfortran

So what were you doing 1983-1988? :-)
