Hi, Before returning to TOS, AC/Fortran reads a <RET> from the console which cannot be switched off by a flag to the program. This makes the compiler unusable in connection with batch procedures, make or similar utlities. As a solution to this problem, I figured out how to disable this query (a Gemdos(10) call) by a patch. The present version of the patch does not switch off the message ty type return, only the jump to the reading routine. But its easy to switch off this message, too. If there is enough interest, I can post a program to perform this patch (C-Source). BTW, a few months ago I patched code for Atari's 68881 board into F77.RL. Great floating point performance now (Only 2.3 times slower than a VAX 11/750 for least sqares fit in double precision)! Greetings, Michael Ritzert
