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) Akin Ozselcuk ao@cevax.berkeley.edu
