Cahill) writes: I am trying to tally which fortran compilers provide a compatibility with the fortran compiler delivered with masscomp systems (which is reputed to provide compatibility with the AT&T compiler). The problem area is that if we open a file with a record length of 1 the at&t compiler then will read as much data as necessary to solve the read argument list. If you have the time (it only takes a couple of minutes) pleas run the attached test & email the results to me. I will post a summary if desired. I ran this test using the f77 compiler we got from AT&T, and it failed, so I question whether that is an "AT&T compatibility" feature. When I run the program by hand, it prints out an error message complaining about premature end-of-file (my interpretation of the obscure message it really produced), and then aborts.
