No, it is not. Our lawyers would probably prefer that I say nothing
more.

Why are there two? God only knows.
In observation of the Supercomputer Conference 2006, Steve Lionel of
Intel wrote:
"What struck me, as I wandered the show floor, is that Fortran, a
fifty-year-old language considered long-dead by many, has a customer
base vibrant enough to support (at least) seven commercial vendors
offering compilers on the same platforms, plus two (why two?) competing
open source compiler projects! What other widely-adopted programming
language can say the same?"
If you want to do the impossible, don't hire an expert because he knows
it can't be done.

Geez, my wife says I don't talk to her enough. Could you get your
lawyers to write her a letter?
