I'm wondering what: ". . .Compaq Visual Fortran compiler (v 6.6A) appears
to be numerically more robust than g77. . ." means?
g77 is a standard open source compiler that is hard to beat for overall
value. It has always given me the same NONMEM results across Win 9x/NT/2k
and Linux platforms, which is another plus. So why pay for something that
is not a standard and only 30% faster on a benchmark (but not necessarily
on a real world problem)?
