@RojoLoco Well Rod-IT said "That's a very odd question for an IT professional to ask."
I figured that was you.
Yeah he's put me in timeout a few times too, "Your posts are under moderation..." like WTF under moderation for providing solid sound advice.

This topic is just annoying.
And when I reported that user as a non IT pro, they left the account as is. But obviously that's an experienced pro asking that question....
At least the user profile isn't claiming to have 20 years experience in 5 companies as managing director of male cow droppings.
She might as well.... SW officially claims she is an IT pro.

@MattSpeller there is some user on SW who claims to have 65 years of IT experience. A moderator was calling them out for it..
It was pretty funny.

I'm RojoLoco everywhere. I probably just paraphrased that comment because I had just looked at it... and it was far less mean that what I would have said.

Yeah it claims that for myself as well lol

Oh this is the person here. 66 years.
So basically the day she was born she started fixing systems...

You've never heard of prodigies Dustin? Sheesh.

lol... her About Me is
"Spiceworks Troller - Always Reading & Learning - Network Admin'n Proud Geek!"
She's trolling for something.... maybe gold?

She clearly looks 66.

A mod actually called them out?
That would put them as having started in 1952?
-
IT is 1952...

Basically that person would have to have been using the ONE commercial computer in the US and working direclty for Grace Hopper.

Geeze. The one guy on our team is looking at compilers for our Fortran code. In the last like two years it went from $1300 to $5000.

Because they know that if you are needing a FORTRAN Compiler that isn't free, they have you by the balls and you have zero choice but to pay them.
Why are you not using the free one?

Not sure why he's looking at the Intel one. They used to use the PGI Compiler but now that it's just Intel it's ridiculous.
We could convert over to MATLAB but it would take too much time (I guess).

I believe they need the Intel Compiler for IMSL. You can't get that for free can you?
I think they used to have to source for that but it was from the 90s

At some point you put effort into converting. Why they didn't do that years ago, heaven only knows.
The big Fortran compiler that I know is...
Fortran is just part of the GCC compiler. No idea what would make any other compiler even a consideration these days.

I was asking about the IMSL Library though. Can you get it with the free compiler?
-
According to this you can't.
That must be why.
Ya the link there is for the page we were looking at. We use it for non-linear algebra, differential equations, and some other things.
Why it wasn't ported to R or MATLAB or Python, I don't know.
