[] Could anyone with experience using the Absoft FORTRAN compiler tell me if it supports 32 character variable names? I have FORTRAN CODE WRITTEN FOR a VAX that I would like to port to the Amiga. Also any comments on the Absoft compiler would be apreciated. Jim Burley

The names can be case-sensitive or folded to uppercase depending on the setting of a compiler switch. Only the first 6 characters of function names, subroutine names, block data, and common block names are significant; these are all folded to uppercase.

Although I don't have too much use of the compiler under my belt
I can answer The Question "are 32 char variable names ok?" YES
31 chars are read as significant and others are ignored.
