I am using the Mips Microsystems f77 fortran compiler running on a MIPS M1000 computer running UMIPS-BSD UNIX. I have run into difficulty installing a finite element package due to a compiler quirk that allows one have a maximum of 17 files at any one time. Documentation for the fortran is unfortunately quite sparse and incomplete. Is it possible to open more files by setting up some unmentioned flag or reconfiguring the fortran compiler? Or is there something in the UMIPS-BSD that can overide this apparent limit of 17 files. A test program confirmed the 17 file limit. The run-time error message given is: open: illegal unit number The program compiles with no errors using the 2nd level of Optimization. This same package works fine on our SUN 3/180's which appear to allow us to open 24 files at any one time. To re-write the package would be a slight major inconvenience considering the source code is slighlty over 3 Mbytes in size. Any help/pointers would be appreciated. Thank you, Gerry Kokodyniak ============================================================================== -- Gerry Kokodyniak, Ph.D. Student, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, U. of Toronto Structural Integrity Fatigue and Fracture Research Laboratory (416) 978-6853 USENET: kokody2@me.utoronto.edu BITNET: kokody2@ME.UTORONTO UUCP: {linus,ihpn4,allegra,decvax,floyd}!utcsri!me!kokody2
