Hi

Lahey software developers are pleased to hear about your excitement and 
apologize for not yet posting an announcement, which they intend to do 
soon. They will certainly contribute to GCC development in any way that 
they can as issues arise. Furthermore, they pledge to donate part of 
their net revenues to support open source and GFortran – in fact, it is 
stated in their documentation (see 
http://www.lahey.com/docs/lgf10help/hh_start.htm).

Best regards
Sue
