Thanks for the information!  So Linux comes with C/C++ AND Fortran.  Great.
Yeah the cost is really bad for the C++ dev. envir. for Solaris.  Is there a
BASIC compiler available?

It's good to hear first hand knowledge.  Everyone was trying to sell me a Sun,
but perhaps that would have been a mistake.

Thanks again.
