Glad to hear it. For the benefit of others, this document is linked to in
the right-hand column of the Intel Visual Fortran product page on intel.,com

Well, no, that isn't in the works. But you will probably be able to use the
same password both places and not be required to use a "strong" password nor
change it regularly on the Premier Support side. (As far as I know, the Intel
Developer Support login doesn't have those requirements.)

I like to hear that!

Fortran 90 syntax, such as MODULE, etc., is allowed in both fixed-form and
free-form source with any Fortran 90 compiler. This is not a special ifort
feature (though if you wish to give us credit for it, I can't complain...).
If you're using fixed-form source, you can continue to do so if you wish, and
still make use of all Fortran 90/95 syntax. I do generally recommend the use
of free-form source in new development, as it is easier to develop and creates
fewer surprises due to longer source lines and blanks being significant.

Nice to hear - please let us know at Intel Premier Support if we may be of
assistance in the future, and do check out our very active user forums.
