Before we get too carried away about the o2 packages being out of
sync, it may be worth remembering that there are only about 12 o2's
"out there" right now (the 10 we just bought plus a few earlier ones).
I guess there might be a few more people writing applications in
Fortran and compiling them on the o2 over the next few months, but I
doubt that the number will be very large.

:) If we follow this timeline, in the light of Alex's statement that we've
:) not offered Fortran 90 on SGI until now, we have a three month period
:) when we offer Fortran that ends with everyone having to recompile apps
:) developed on O2's.
:)
:) If it would not be inordinately disruptive to our efforts, I'd rather go
:) live with Fortran version 7.2 on BOTH platforms from the get go.
