Hi Andrew: Thanks for your recent f95 work. I also ran into the problem of blanks turning into no-ops for the f77 bindings and example 28. I fixed it with an islen change so that trailing blank trimming occurs as before unless the string is all blanks in which case a null-terminated string with a single blank is produced rather than the empty null-terminated string that was produced before. I have just made two commits to bindings/f95 to make those bindings compatible with my recent f77 changes (including the islen change). I don't have access to Fortran 9x so please check that these changes (a) don't break anything and (b) solve the problem of blanks turning into no-ops for example 28 that you have just described. With my recent bindings changes do all the f95 examples now produce identical results to the C examples? For the f77 examples I had to do some blank tweaking (e.g., change some ' ' strings to '') to make that happen. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
