Hi thats a good idea. Since you want to move to f90 ,it would be great if you could design new f90 function interfaces,in a way that they are capable of type argument checking as well. mehdi

I think so. Should we go further and move most of the header code (parmeters, common blocks etc) into Fortran modules and just put the few things in include files that cannot go into modules like #define PetscScalar real8 etc? Seems reasonable also to me. Barry --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
