- I'm new to this newsgroup, so please excuse me if I'm asking in the wrong
- place. I'm looking for C/C++ & Fortran 32-bit compilers for a 486-based
- pc. I'm currently leaning towards OS/2 but am also very interested in a
- pc Unix. I'd like minimal (read that zero) problems with object file and
- run-time compatibility, so I'm thinking same vendor for both compilers.
- The purpose of the compilers is to do some number-crunching (bet you
- guessed that).
-
- From what I could find in ads for Lahey, Zortech, Borland, MS, Watcom, &
- Microway, only Microway's NDP (Numeric Data Processing) compilers meet
- all my specs for OS/2. Also from what I could find, Microway makes
- the only affordable (for my not deep pockets) such compilers for a pc
- unix, which is the Coherent unix. I think Coherent is a 32-bit standalone
- Unix, but I'm not sure. So...
-
- If anyone would care to offer advice, suggestions, experiences, or other
- comments on Microway's NDP C/C++ & Fortran 32-bit compilers for the i486
- (or for the i386, if you've experience with that), I'd really appreciate
- it. I'd also be interested in any thoughts on Coherent unix (if it's not
- 32-bit, I'm probably not interested-- sorry I'm not clear if it's 32 or
- 16). Or if you know of some alternative I've missed, I'd appreciate
- hearing about that, too.
-
- Please post your replies to the group if you'd like others to benefit
- from your comments as well, but if you do, please also send me email, as
- I don't always get to read news on a timely basis.
-
- Thanks a whole bunch for all your help,
