But do they *work*...? :-) There are MS-DOS C compilers which will compile the above without complaint. You must use the so-called `huge model'. Chances are there are just as many (ratio-wise at least) FORTRAN compilers for these machines which will `choke on it'. (Just for yucks, what happens with double arr[400][400]; or DOUBLE PRECISION ARR(400,400) ?) -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7163) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris
