[net.unix] P-E and float?

hugh@BRL-BMD.ARPA (USAFAS) (03/14/85)

Hi,

	We have been given access to a Perkin-Elmer running the
Wollogong(sp?) implementation of unix and have found that the simplest
versions of programs written in both FORTRAN and C don't work.  
I think that I have isolated the problem:  my conclusion is that
this implementation doesn't have{_ float in C and doesn't have
REAL in FORTRAN.  When I declare my variables as double or DOUBLE
PRECISION in C or FORTRAN, respectively, the programs work; declared
as float or REAL, they don't work.

	Is this standard for this implemetation?  Or should I tell
the system administrator to get to work straightening out this problem?

		thanks,
