Nitpick, Nitpick, Nitpick.. :-)

I grouped 'Intel C Compiler' together in one section.

1. Intel C Compiler
2. Other Fortran Compiler
3. Other Ada compiler

Not:

1. Intel C Compiler
2. Intel Fortran Compiler
3. Intel Ada compiler

It is.. and it is damned fine for server utilities that I use every day, and it
is damned fine for batch programs and console programs and all sorts of
wonderful things.
