Hmm, a site to which I have access just installed SunFortran 1.3.1. We here still use 1.2. I noticed a large change in size in the trivial program below print*,'hello world' stop end On a SS-1 (4.0.3) running f77 1.2 the stripped a.out was 49152 bytes. On a 4/470 running 4.1 and f77 1.3.1 it was about 139kb. I have only read the on-line doc's on 1.3.1 so could be missing something. Is this increase in size unavoidable? As a matter of interest, what is it? I should say I was expecting a shrinkage with the inclusion of the -pic option. If it's some introduced inefficiency in binding to libraries I'm going to be very unhappy. Enquiring minds ...
