Good point. FWIW, the new F08 module in MPI-3 will be much, much mo' betta than the existing MPI F90 bindings. We plan to prototype the F08 module in OMPI when we finish specifying it in the Forum, and revamp the F90 support in OMPI at more-or-less the same time. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
