Sometimes the output was a simple vector and sometimes a true 2-d matrix and I failed to undretand how to translate these functions. It seemed like Fortran didn't give a damn about variable types and since Pascal is so strongly typed this made a big clash. I converted a fair amount of them but when I reached this problem I had a lot to go and gave up..... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
