Hi folks,
i am looking urgendly for an IBM AIX Fortran V7.1.1 Compiler.

IBM is not willing or able to provide us with this outdated version
which is needed for an inhouse project.

So if somebody is able to sell ( inlc. License file ) or even send us
the software ( without the license file ) i would be pretty happy.

Please answer to:

In how far does the inhouse project depend on the IBM AIX
compiler?

One of the better options -in my opinion- would be to try to
change the code so that it doesn't use IBM AIX-specific things
anymore and so that it is standard compliant. This has two
advantages:

1) Your code is standard compliant :-)

2) You do not depend on the IBM AIX Fortran compiler anymore and
you can pick any (possibly freely available) compiler you like to
compile your code.

However, I don't know how much of an effort this would be for
your company and if they are willing to spend time on the
conversion... but depending on the importance of the project i
think in the long term you would benefit from it...

Regards,
Bart
