Yes, multiple vendors still have <foo>f90 (and/or <foo>f77)-named compilers. But these are just multiple entry points to a common back end, usually for legacy reasons (just like we'll still have mpif90 and mpif77). Another fun fact: MPI-1 was never compliant with Fortran 77. The most obvious/easiest point to cite is that F77 only allowed 6-character variable and subroutine names. :-) -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
