I am compiling a big program (ATP, Alternative Transients Program, www.emtp.org), more than 200000 FORTRAN lines, without problems at compile/link/use time. I am using Mingw 3.2, (plus DOS/DJGPP and Linux) FORTRAN and C for each platform. Regards, OPH. 2002-9-21 7:03 Ing. Orlando P. Hevia he...@ci... Santa Fe-Argentina |
