Yes, it doesn't. I noticed that, within 1/2 day of starting to use Ultrix. You get the feeling that the guys at DEC never test their software if a brandnew user can find bugs within a few hours. It by the way neither works on stdout (unit 6), and not when called with parameter "0" to flush all streams. > It did work on a Sun Sparcstation and Apollo (you >C don't even need to flush on the apollos). .... rest deleted Yes, it indeed DOES work on Suns. I guess it won't work on IBM AIX though. Right now I have the feeling NOTHING works in AIX FORTRAN (which isn't called f77 but xlf instead); there isn't even a dtime routine :-) I just wasted a day trying to port "pretty clean" f77 code to AIX, and didn't get anywhere. Boy, IBM is weird. I guess I really don't need that much CPU power :-) :-) :-) >C Roque Oliveira >C oliveria@caen.engin.umich.edu -- Ralph Becker-Szendy UHHEPG=24742::RALPH (HEPNet,SPAN) University of Hawaii RALPH@UHHEPG.PHYS.HAWAII.EDU High Energy Physics Group RALPH@UHHEPG.BITNET Watanabe Hall #203, 2505 Correa Road, Honolulu, HI 96822 (808)956-2931
