I remember migrating from VMS to OpenVMS. Quickest migration I ever
did! This is not much worse. CVF has its heritage in the VAX FORTRAN
compiler. In the wake of the demise of Alpha and HP buying Compaq (two
separate events which happened quite close together), many engineers
moved to Intel, including most or all of the Fortran folks. HP now gets
its Fortran compiler from Intel. Thus, under the hood IVF is probably
very similar to CVF.

Look up the thread here or in comp.os.vms where Steve Lionel explained
why the $!DEC directives are still in the compiler!
