Do we really need to buy two products to port to both OSX G5 and OSX

Seems expensive if we use ABSOFT

I suppose it depends on whether you need the top performance on both. If
you need that, I suspect the answer is yes. Not that I'll give you any
guarantee to go with that answer, but that would be my guess.

You could probably go with a PPC-based compiler and odds are good that
it would work on Intel via Rosetta. Performance, though...

Or there is always g95.
