Actually, Digital never had a product called "fort" on the DECstation/DECsystem
(RISC) line.  "Fort" is the name of the executable image of the VAX FORTRAN
for ULTRIX product.

The current release of DIGTAL's Fortran for RISC is, indeed, 3.0, and it is, indeed,
a very good compiler.  Of course, I'm just a wee bit biased ... ;-)
