Errors on your web page

I think that they might.  Their webpage is so lamentably deficient
that anybody serious about buying a compiler would wonder why they are
being so "economical with the truth".  Also, I cannot see why it would
be their interest not to be honest.  Their compiler works fine, is
nicely packaged an has quite a competitive performance, as the latest
Polyhedron comparisons show.

They even give the impression that an open source plotting package is
specific to their compiler.  Incidentally, I am so wedded to DISLIN,
for which the gfotran version is free, that I have never tried to
build plplot; has any body tried it?

Cheers
