Abstract
Vectorizing precompilers such as KAP/205 and VAST-2 complement the efficient use of Fortran on the CDC Cyber 205. With the advent of the ETA-10 and its EOS/VSOS environment, the performance of these Fortran 200 preprocessors has come under closer scrutiny. The extent or quantity of vectorization that can be achieved has been examined elsewhere with reference to a test set of Fortran DO loops. The quality of the translated code is also considered. KAP/205 and VAST-2 are contrasted in this respect to reveal differences in the vectorized Fortran
