Glad to be of some assistance, and pleased that it works, I found the read-only bit in FTN95.CHM, but from the perspective of the user it's read-only: from the perspective of a programmer it's write-o ...

Bill,

What's wrong with %eb? That accepts one line, and moreover, you can set it as read only.

Bill,

Your problems are fascinating. If you need to make sure that activity A is complete before you start activity B, then it seems logical that Activity A has to report that it has completed befo ...

Sometimes the difference in appearance of a window is the result of a Microsoft change, as exemplified by what happens between Windows versions, and now that Microsoft intend to do these changes via t ...

A speed-up of even 270,000 times is in practice useless if the execution time without the speed-up is rather small, say 1 second, and the program waits for a human to interact with it.

I frankly do ...

Or, on second thoughts, it might be because your default real type is 4 bytes. You can change that to 8 bytes in a variaety of ways: one is to put the OPTIONS (DREAL) directive at the front of the sou ...

It sounds like the source code is in fixed format, and the .f extension implies that it is free format (or vice versa, I forget). You should have a look at the file and see which it is. Then you might ...

Hi Paul,

Yes, I already knew that. It was as gentle a push as I could make in the circumstances. I've stated my belief in the past that for many people, and for many purposes, FTN95 is adequately f ...

Just out of interest, what are the optimisations? Is there a list anywhere?
