Sorry for my flame on Berkeley's f77 compiler. The bug was traced down to (as always) DEC. Our 780 was upgraded to Rev. Level 7, but as we didn't have any console floppies that were rev 7, they left a jumper in that still says that it is rev 5. Anyway, "Dec removed the jumper" and it was supposed to be rev 7. And they told me that the FPLA WCS VERSION MISMATCH didn't really matter. "It must be just one of the modules that's not fully rev 7." they said. Ha! When Donn Seeley mentioned, from looking at my efforts to root out the bug, that I should run diagnostics or maybe the micro code revision levels are wrong. Bells go off on the recesses of my mind. And I rebooted using my old rev 5 floppy. (they did bring us a rev 7 floppy) And now everything works fine. (Hopefully). To all of you who responded, thanks, and thanks for the bug fixes to the distributed f77 compiler. -- USENET- .... Sean Byrne 4 years . /\ . CSRG, Philips Laboratories of anarchy . / \ .
