Well here is a bit of news for you. There was little point in 
programming on Liso for years until Macintosh OS X came out which is 
built on top of BSD Unix and subsequently Allegro ported its unix 
implementation to OS X as well. So, all I have to do is find a f77 
compiler and a quick scan with google suggests that there already 
exist. This is particularly great because Matlab abandoned the Mac 
last year.
