Needless to say I was quite surprised that a list was created specifically for Fortran discussion, but I'm also very excited to see the level of interest in the community. You are the community. There is no secret ingredient. It's just you and me and others. If we want better fortran support in FreeBSD, it's up to us to make it happen. I also hate to be forced to do much of my fortran work on linux. Anton
