After reading Matt Neuburg's article "The Very Model of a Modern Mountain Lion Document" (http://tidbits.com/article/13187), Save As even though it is back is a real mess. See the last but one paragraph of the article. Even if you check "Ask to keep changes when closing documents" Save As ... will also save your edits in the original file! I assume that's a bug which hopefully will be repaired in 10.8.1

To be completely sure: for ML  I only have to install gfortran-lion-5666-3.pkg (from r.research.att.com) and Xcode + CLI tools?
