Hi Alan,
Hm, I will have to look into this a bit closer - this week is a trifle crowded
though, so it will take me some time to get around to it. I agree, as per your
later post (got caught by the spam filter for reasons best known to itself),
that "f95" is not the correct keyword anymore. So that is indeed another thing
to do. Perhaps I should consult the gfortran mailing list about the details.
Regards,
Arjen
