Help! I'm not much of a fortran person, so this may be
a dumb question, but I'm having problems getting something
to work in IBM's Fortran 77 for the IBM PC. The IBM manual
says that an INTEGER*2 must be in the range of -32767 to 32767.
What happened to -32768??? The manual says that this is an
invalid integer. Is there really no way to get 8000 hex into
a 2 byte value? Is this something weird in IBM's implementation,
or is this standard f77?

Unfortunately, it sounds like they didn't do a very good job. -- ...smeagol\ Steve Schlaifer ......wlbr->!jplgodo!steve Advance Projects Group, Jet Propulsion Labs ....logico/ 4800 Oak Grove Drive, M/S 156/204 Pasadena, California, 91109 +1 818 354 3171
