No they aren't, no more than any software running in dos/box is.



Who, or what, aren't what? And software running in a dos/box is what? And what is a "dos/box"?



When I wondered about the same questions, my best guess was that this curious fragment was intended to be an illustration of deceptiveness in that it gives the illusion of meaning without actually having any. :-)



Either that, or our erstwhile "Intel Fortran isn't Visual" complainers on comp.lang.fortran have gotten to the point where they have knee-jerk reactions to any mention of the compilers at all (regardless of whether it includes the "Visual" part of the name or not), and also have gotten to the point of completely forgetting to explain their objection. That would at least explain the "dos/box" bit (which I take to be a strangely puncuated and capitalized reference to a command.com shell window)....


I agree completely, with one exception: you should have written "complainer" instead of "complainers", since it is only B. Voh (childishly posting under pseudonyms) who seems to make a fuss. Why this individual has so much animosity toward Intel is puzzling. My guess is that he tied his product (SDX) to the Compaq Visual Fortran compiler, and is now reaping the whirlwind of this poor strategic decision.

Well, there are quite a few that are disappointed that IVF is overall a lesser product than CVF, out of the box. You can do extra work to make it roughly equivalent, but a high quality product would not make you do so.
