"The Absoft Pro Fortran 9.2 patch for Apple Intel machines required only a single change and was very easy to apply. With a single quick fix I was back in business and running Pro Fortran on my Intel Mac with a large research code I use. It worked perfectly. Even running under Rosetta, my code ran much faster on the new computer. I'm very much looking forward to v10 and native codes. Kudos to Absoft for typically great support!"

Building applications with Absoft Pro Fortran v9.2 on Intel Macintosh systems:

1. Include these 2 lines inside your .bash_profile in your home directory to be able to use the command line to compile a program:

• export ABSOFT_AS="as -arch ppc"
• export ABSOFT_LINKER="c++ -arch ppc"

2. To use the Developer Tools on an Intel based Macintosh, look under the build tab in project options and you will find a field that says "Link", it should say "c++" in that field. Add "-arch ppc" to the field so it contains "c++ -arch ppc".

You will also need to set an environment variable that all applications can view. This can be done by downloading the RCEnvironment application at http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCEnvironment/. Then setup a new variable by clicking the "+", then in the variable field specify "ABSOFT_AS", and for the value field of this variable specify "as -arch ppc" .
