Someone can get Sun Studio 12, which includes Sun Fortran, on
DVD for ten dollars. Go to the URL

http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads

Click on the media kit. That should load the sun store webpage
for the Sun Studio 12 media kit.

Sun Fortran runs on Solaris for SPARC, AMD, and Intel, and on
Linux for AMD and Intel.

Well, goody gumdrops, it's on its way for a grand total of $10.50.

They make you register, but it's painless, given that you actually want
something to show up in your mailbox. They don't tell you at the end that
your phony-balonay sun identity does not match your credit card.

I think my state gets the fifty cents in tax. I get good software and build
local roads at the same. Win-win.

I should have mentioned that the Linux version on the DVD is
packaged as RPMs. The tarball version that is available on
the website is not included on the DVD.
