Rochester Hills, MI (August 11, 2004) - Absoft Corporation announced today the availability of their Pro Fortran Compiler Suite version 9.0 for Macintosh OS X. Absoft’s Pro Fortran Compiler Suite is the most complete Macintosh Fortran tool kit available. It includes F95 and C/C++ compilers, a powerful Integrated Development Environment, and Fx2™, world’s best Fortran Debugging Solution™. It is Panther compatible and tuned for high performance on the G5 processor.

The Absoft Pro Fortran Compiler Suite for Macintosh OS X is the world’s #1 Fortran compiler and developer’s tool kit for OS X because it is the only environment specifically designed for developing software in Fortran on Macintosh. The Absoft Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is included at no additional charge with all versions of Pro Fortran for Windows and Macintosh. The Absoft IDE is a stand alone application tool suite that provides graphical interfaces for multiple compilers (Absoft, XL Fortran, XL C/C++, gcc for OSX) and select third party tools (IMSL, VAST, 2D/3D graphics) which operate as plug ins.

Absoft is the only Fortran vendor offering bundle pricing on source compatible Fortran solutions for all of today’s leading platforms.
