There is at least one commercial Visual Fortran out already:

http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/compilers/278834.htm

Version 9.1 is for Visual Studio 2005. I imagine Intel would object as
much as Microsoft.

That's what I meant. I assume that MS authorized DEC to use the name, and that that authorization transferred to Compaq/HP and then to Intel (don't know that) when the compiler/components/rights were successively purchased by those companies. So I'd assume that the trademark belongs to Intel (unless Compaq/HP retained it, but I doubt that since they aren't using it). It is also strange to me that Portland thinks that it can compete and provide a better product than Lahey, Absoft, and Intel (and Salford/Silverfrost and Pathscale and ...). (meaning aren't there enough already?)

If you want to do the impossible, don't hire an expert because he knows it can't be done.
