Thanks for mentioning this. It's good to mention relevant restrictions
of such offers in the title ("Free PGI Visual Fortran for U.S.
academics") and/or body of the message to save the time of readers:

"To qualify, you must be a registered student or faculty members of an
academic institution and you must be living currently in the USA. No
purchase is necessary."

Also:

I understand that this license will expire on 31-August 2009 at which
time the compilers will stop working. (Your compiled programs will not
be affected.)

To me, that means a compiler I can use from the command line to create
console programs, after writing the source code in a separate text
editor, and thus g95 and gfortran certainly qualify. Of course I can
open output CSV files in excel, plot results in Gnuplot within the
program using the common "system" extension, etc.

fwiw: I have the Netbeans-IDE version 6.1 sitting on top of gcc +
gfortran v4.31 from equation.com. It seems to work well. I almost like
it :-)

The scenario you describe is very effective when your build environment is
as stable as a chessboard. This is always an option I strive for.

I'm unwilling to part with good compiler complaints. I've never had a
better two-way relationship with a compiler as I have with silverfrost.
One day, silverfrost will say: error 196883: were you thinking of
iterations and trials as the same thing?
