Open Watcom Fortran compiler help needed

The Open Watcom open source compiler project, www.openwatcom.org ,
needs help in improving the Fortran compiler from F77 to F90/F95/F2k3.
Also needed is help in porting the Fortran compiler runtime library to
Linux and to AMD64. Most of the compiler internals and runtime library
are written in C code. The Open Watcom compilers and linker currently
support Dos16, Dos32, Win16, Win32, OS/2 and Netware 4. The Linux
porting project is about 75% complete but needs a lot of "cleanup".
An article on improving the C and C++ compilers is at
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=29332 . Please note that any code
generation improvements in the C and C++ compilers will automatically
accrue to the Fortran compiler since all the Open Watcom compilers use
the same code generator and code optimizer.
The Fortran compiler is currently at the F77 level but already has many
F90 improvements added. A few other improvements are also needed
such as the Integer*8, Logical*8 and Real*16 data types.
Now is your chance to get experience working on what used to to be
the premier compiler for the PC environment. With a lot of work <g>,
that place can be regained.
Sincerely,
Lynn McGuire
