Lahey.  I'd like to use g77 but I've a ton of code that uses the (DEC)
standard structure and record declarations for defining new data types.
Unfortunately, g77 and many other commercial Fortran compilers can't handle
these.  I just found a note on the comp.lang.fortran group from someone who
was running Lahey on Fedora.  I'll probably give it a try.

Thanks.
Jim
