g77 with equivalent optimization as on RH or SUSE Linux, and using more or
less equivalent versions of g77 (and gcc) gives comparably fast processing
with Mosflm. However, getting the code to optimize with g77 is a lot
harder than with the commercial compilers on Tru64 and Irix (but the
effort's worth it). BTW, OSX downloads of mosflm are now third in
popularity after PC Linux and SGI, so someone must be using it.

(thinks - I must investigate this...)
