Winteracter - Graphical Development Tools

"The cross platform compatibility of Absoft's compiler range is a key factor for us. Our recent port to Absoft v10 on Win64 was very straightforward. Everything worked as expected, including the Fortran/C linkage. We are now able to target five different platforms running Absoft compilers, from a common code base."
- Lawson Wakefield, Winteracter
