I did not mean to imply that the Myarc would access the P-Code card, sorry.

Does the Fortran compiler support CHARACTER data types, COMMON Blocks, etc?  If
not, are there plans for it in the future?  Maybe a good reference frame would
be the Fortran 99 Package, how much more is there (if you ever saw Fortran 99)?

Say, have you seen the Pascal compiler that was released several months back?
I was kinda curious if anyone had it, and how complete it is?  Based on the
source code I saw in Micropendium several months ago I would say that it isn't
worth the money (that's why I keep asking about it instead of buying it).

Also, thank you for correcting me.  As I said, I don't have one, just know 
a little about them.
