Does anyone know if the latest version of Sun's Fortran compiler
supports REAL*16 variables for quad precision.
If not, does anyone else produce a compiler that does support this
feature.
Failing that, is REAL*16 supported on any other Unix-based machines ?
Thanks for any help you can give,
Andy Pearman

Convex and Cray both do. Cray calls real*8 real and real*16 double.
Convex also has a compiler switch that makes real = real*8 and double = real*16.

I'm looking at a brand new Sun Fortran 1.3.1 manual right now - REAL*16 is not in the list of types. -- Dave Mitchell --- mitchell@ai.toronto.edu / davidm@psych.toronto.edu.

> Failing that, is REAL*16 supported on any other Unix-based machines ? The f77 compiler on the HP 9000 Series 800 computers supports REAL*16 as of 7.0. The Ansi C compiler on the same machine supports the type 'long double' which has the same representation. All of the usual operations are supported. > Andy Pearman Ross Cunniff Hewlett-Packard Colorado Language Lab cunniff@hpfcla.hp.com
