Re: Compaq Visual Fortran discontinued: upgrade to Intel Visual Fortran?

I use the latest version of Compaq Visual Fortran on a Windows system. CVF development is being discontinued as of the end of this year. They offer an upgrade to Intel Visual Fortran 9.0. Any thoughts on whether this is advisable/desirable/necessary would be highly appreciated. Does anybody have experiences going that route already? 


Yes, IVF 9 and MS Visual Studio 2003 are a good combo except for
one item.  MSVS 2003 and IVF do not support lookup of fortran symbols.


Excuse my thick-headedness, but what does "lookup of fortran symbols" mean?

cheers,
