If anyone knows how to contact andy... These are all very common extensions, and if memory serves work fine on all three specific platforms you mentioned. Specifically... SUN accepts implicit undefined and implicit none and compiler option to accomplish implicit none globally. 31 character variable names inline characters (f77v1.3 and beyond ... current FCS level if v1.3.1) DO ENDDO, and DO WHILE As mentioned above, the current release level is v1.31. In earlier versions the ! and some other VMSisms mandated a run through an additional compiler step (f77cvt) but that has been eliminated. If you have additional questions, feel free to bug someone in your local Sun sales office. If they don't know ... they should and it would force them to ask me and then I get to educate 'em ;> They might even be persuaded to provide you with a copy of the docset (Users Guide, Reference, Numerical Computation Guide) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Keith H.
