George – Sorry about the delay in replying to your reply but I've had a little modem trouble. You comment that you like the debugger; what's it like? That is, what capabilities? I'm glad to see your comment on the 2K lines/minute using RAM:, I have a Starboard 2 with 2 Meg and I thought that would be the way to go…that speed will sure help in pgm development. My applications at the moment are principally in math (specifically x-ray crystallography)…Do you have any personal experience with execution-time comparisons with similar C and Fortran codes? I've gathered that (all things being equal, which of course they never are!) that Absoft's Fortran might be somehwat slower than Manx C, but faster than Lattice's. Any comment on that? Also, if you're interested, you might take a look at a previous message to Robert Walker, who was also kind enough to respond to my first message. Thanks, Steve
