You mean like having pi to any desired number of digits? As far as I know, there is no intrinsic support for this in any FORTRAN (or C, for that matter) compiler. > The code I am working on is primarily f77 and it would be better to keep it > fortran than translate it to C etc.. There are arbitrary precision libraries like libmpfr that seem like they do want you want. I have no idea if any have FORTRAN bindings, but you could write wrapper code in C for the needed functions using, for instance, cfortran. regards, -- Kevin B.
