XL Fortran for AMD64 Opteron

Anyone know if such a thing exists? I have found XL for intel and
power chips but not for the AMD. I am trying to compile something that
was programmed for an IBM machine... the regular fortran compilers g95,
g77 etc aren't doing the job.

Really? You found XL for anything other than a power chip? I was under
the rather strong impression that XL was rather closely tied to the
power chip. If I'm wrong, I'd be curious to know. What OS?
P.S. As you can presumably gather from the above, no, I'm not aware of a
version of XL for Opteron. But then, since I wasn't aware of one for
Intel, perhaps this just reflects my ignorance.

IBM advertises XL Fortran for Linux (SUSE or RH) systems, with the caveat that that system
is an:
"IBM eServer BladeCenter JS20, OpenPower, System p5, pSeries,
or iSeries server as required by your Linux distribution".
However, they advertise most of the above hardware for POWER, Intel, and AMD-processor
based systems. See
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/index.html
The variety of available hardware for AMD-based processors is pretty small (i.e. one
eServer product)
One would thus suspect that XL Fortran is available for all three processor-based
platforms, but good luck trying to find an unequivocal statement to that effect on the IBM
pages. I mean, does an "industry solution" include a Fortran95 compiler? Or is that
"middleware"? The more I dig, the less information I find.... it's a subtraction stew. :o)
