Warren, If I remember correctly it is something like $800 for XLC/C++ and $1200 for XLF , but *please* don't quote me on that. It has been quite some time since I checked prices. The last time I did a bake off of the xlc vs gcc was 5-6 years ago on a Apple dual G4 box (bought ~2000, don't remember the exact version), and xlc stomped all over gcc in math ops. I believe it has closed the gap since then. If you need support for some of the Dec extensions to Fortran-77 your choices may be limited. I only found IBM's compiler and Absoft that would handle some of the code I was porting.
