Re: [Plplot-devel] Small revision of Fortran 95 interface

[Michael M. T. <mt...@ma...>]

Dear Arjen:

I just got around to check the F95 binding of the latest SVN release.

Everything is fine! The characters now display correctly for the F95
examples. In the file binding/f95/Makefile I had to add the '--tag=F77'
option in the two lines so that they look:

... $(LIBTOOL) --tag=F77 --mode=compile ...
... $(LIBTOOL) --tag=F77 --mode=link ...

I have been testing with a NAGWare Fortran 95 compiler and will also try
out the Absoft F95 compiler.

Many thanks again.
Best,
      Mike
