I don't know if it never worked in gfortran. Until a few days ago, the only MinGW build of gfortran was a trunk version of 4.3.0. I haven't tested gfortran 4.2.1 or any other version yet. > Also why does this program use > con anyways, shouldn't it just use the default units which are > connected to stdio/stdout anyways as they might not be connected to > the console anyways? The program opens a large number of file units, some of them actual files, and one of them 'con'. I believe one of them is also 'nul'. These are defined at one place in the program that you can change (similar to the code in the sample program in the first comment), so that at compile time you can change the names of the files. That's just the way the program is written, and not being the author, I can't reasonably change it all around to use the default units instead. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32784
