While I am not sure about the wisdom of purchasing a sun workstation for
number crunching needs, I have had a bit of experience in compiling
fortran applications on suns. I have compiled fidap, a package of approx.
15MB code with very little tweaking, dependent upon the exact
configuration of the site. Till date, I have not come across any problem
that could not be solved easily and quickly.
