Dear CClers,

If anyone could steer me in the right direction (or even give an answer :)  )
with the following two queries (each containing several questions), I'd be most
greatful.

1) Is it possible to combine Linux clusters over a LAN or by internet
connection?  Can an alpha Linux cluster be coupled with an Intel Linux cluster?
Would the Linda distributed software package work in this cross-platform
environment?

2) What is the status of a compiler for G98 under a Linux/alpha system.  I
queried Dr. Fox at Gaussian ca. 4 to 6 months ago about compiling Gaussian
Linux/alpha and he stated that there was not a suitable compiler for Gaussian
(using Linux/alpha) at that time.  I know others on this list a have asked
questions about compiling G98 on an  Linux/alpha system with various problems.
Is it possible?  Does anyone know about the "Compaq" FORTRAN compiler for
Linux/alpha and when it will be released?  Anyone at the Portland group working
on this?  I'll stop here (and summarize my findings).
