Hallo, I've just encountered a problem with the current (3.2) f77 compiler. This may be mainly a documentation problem. It seems there are three ways to specify include files to the compiler. a) VAX/VMS style include: INCLUDE 'file' b) cpp style include: #include "file" c) $include as documented: $include file There are two problems. First it seems that only c) is documented and second (and much more annoying) c) doesn't work verry well with dbx. If you use $include's, the line numbers are incorrectly counted and dbx is more or less useless. It seems for each $include file the internal line numbers of the including file get incremented by the number of lines in the $inluded file, but dbx shows the 'real' line numbers. When using a) or b) everything works fine. Could you please in a future version: - update the documentation. - and/or correct the behaviour of c) With kind regards Martin Knoblauch
