MacFortranII for A/UX

[Jim Jagielski]

I'm still plugging away on the comparison between NKR FORTRAN and MacFORTRANII
for A/UX (NKR Research and Absoft).

I've managed to cut compile times for MFII in half but doing a very simply
thing... adding the "-n" flag to as. (I know, I know, this doesn't affect
the compiler per se and it can be argued that this doesn't change the "compile
time" :).

Without as having to do this optimization, it now takes only about 1/2 the
time. Code size is a little bit bigger (maybe 3-4%) and speed may be decreased
a bit (when you're talking a few percent, it's hard to tell).

Anyway, this (and the other) changes in the MFII f77 shell script now
makes MFII I bit nicer to use and makes the toss-up between NKRF and MFII
even closer.

By the way, I got the latest version (V 3.2.0) of NKR FORTRAN the other day.
They've added the "trig-degree" function to their library (cosd, etc) as well
as adding more optimization. This makes their compiles a little slower and
their code a little smaller. It still doesn't support sdb though :(
