All of our Intel systems run FreeBSD, but our Alphas run Digital Unix, er, OSF/1, er, True64 UNIX. :) We need a good FORTRAN90 compiler to run weather models (mm5 and arps) on the Alphas. Right now the only choices are True64 or Linux. Sigh. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
