[DO 10 I = 1.100] I've had that error too. It seems to have been a problem with a FORMAT statement. Probably an old bug fix is available - can any net archivist recall this? -- Col. G. L. Sicherman ...seismo!rochester!rocksanne!rocksvax!sunybcs!gloria!colonel

If it is specifically a problem with a FORMAT statement, it's likely one that is too long. 4.1 F77 had a 200-or-so-element array of chars to hold any one statement, and no overflow checking. 4.2 F77 seems to have a larger array, but still no overflow checking. My fix to the 4.1 F77 compiler was to increase the limit to about 1K, *and to add overflow checking*. It's not that hard to do; why doesn't anyone else seem to do it?? -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci (301) 454-7690 UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris@maryland
