I am tring to use the advanced menu formats from FORTRAN, but they don't work. The main problem I am having is when I try to use %F or %f in a addtopup. The functions either not called or the program bombs. Has anyone tried to use SGI's menus? The people I have talked to here; have either given up or didn't bother to try and wrote there own menu software. I would like to try SGI's. Any suggestions?

I think that you'll find that your problem is caused by the fortran compiler seeing the %f in the string and assuming that it is a C formatting request. See what happens if you replace it with "%%f" (i.e. double the '%'). Tim Pointing, DCIEM tim@zorac.arpa
