Any decent Fortrans under Unix ? Which machine ?

I forgot to mention that f77 effectively forces you to split your
programs into many small files when you are on non-virtual machines.
Otherwise, as(1) will grow almost exponentially in memory size. You
also run into a message something like 'too many external symbol names -
try -Nx option'. Unfortunately, our f77 knows no such option :-)
(this was in f77pass1)

On virtual machines, you'll start to notice very high page rates for large
files/routines. SVS's memory requirements are relatively constant & small.
