I would say pretty much always a supporter. But *** H would be
a much better person to answer. :)

The SGI merger happened many years later - in 1996!

Yes, but that was during a period when Cray made a lot of changes.
The two parts of the company split, they started using
byte-addressable ALPHA chips, and they started making massively
parallel distributed-memory computers rather than their previous
vector-oriented shared-memory computers. I was just asking if it
was during this later time only that they supported f90, or was it
earlier during the f8x period?
