We are considering a project of porting a commercial piece of software
from DEC-10 (COMPUSERVE) Fortran to MicroVax. The principal candidates for the
target system are VMS and the new ULTRIX Fortran compiler. (PLEASE, I don't
need VMS/Unix flames; that isn't the issue.) Could anyone who has had
experience with comparing VMS vs. ULTRIX or ULTRIX vs. 4.2/3 bsd Fortrans,
please let me know about:

please let me know about:
1. Compiler reliability, speed, ...
2. Stability and robustness of generated code.
3. Run-time speed, reliability.
4. Quality of documentation.
5. VMS/ULTRIX Fortran compatibility.
Please reply by email. If there is sufficient response, I will post the results
to the net.
Thanks,
