We recently installed fortran 3.2 on our IRIS workstations. MUCH better than 3.1 :-) Now using the "-w" option produces code that executes. Omitting "-w" on our software produces a warning about jumping into an IF block, (in code not called). But, the executable won't do I/O. It complains about i/o errors. Hmmm... cute. f77 -w -vms file.f -o file.out ok, at least it works, and the -On option doesn't core dump. But now "-static" causes an immediate "Killed" to appear when the .out file is run. Oh, Boy! what a descriptive error message!!!! Sigh, even 3.1 allowed this to work on the same code. Better test your code lots before going into production with 3.2 8-) !! berkley@wunet.bitnet berkely@wucs1.wustl.edu

It might have been fixed already in our newest release. Despite this bug, I am sure you will find the 3.2 version a lot better than the 3.1 one.
