There's VAX FORTRAN... and f77 from Absoft... and f77 on MIPS and SGI machines (yeah, I know, same compilers :) Well, maybe it's premature to say a bunch, but it looks like there COULD be. P.S. It's one thing for a compiler to accept to do something illegal, but it's another to accept it and NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT... -- ======================================================================= #include =:^) Jim Jagielski NASA/GSFC, Code 711.1 jim@jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov Greenbelt, MD 20771 "Exploding is a perfectly normal medical phenomenon.
