You also only need to add       '_8' (or 'L') to those values that would exceed huge(1) in       magnitude as integer*4 is a proper subset of integer*8 and       Fortran does conversion when required.              --       steve              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
