I have a few simple questions:
The target of my questions are PC FORTRAN`S.
Q #1: What is the largest memory space a PC FORTRAN (MS FORTRAN
and others) program can address ?
1.a for an Intel80286 processsor
1.b for a Motorola 68??? processor
1.c for an Intel 80386 processor
Q #2: What is the largest array size in a program. For example
can I write the following statement in a program, that is running in an
Intel 80286, without any error messages:
real array(100000)
2.a How about Intel 80386 and motorola 68000 series.
My aim is to decide whether I should invest in a FORTRAN compiler
or not. I need large core addressing capabilities (2 or 3 MB
to solve equations. ) Is Intel 80386 architecture capable of
providing such large memory addressing power (Under Xenix or DOS)
How about getting a C compiler What is the largest memory space
I can address with a C program. (I have the feeling that
this should be compiler independent)
