I am fascinated by the introduction of new functions like this. What did people do before? What did they name their self-developed functions? Is there any conflict - and do the system functions perfor ...

Ian,

I was surprised by your problem, as for years I have been making controls change size.

Here's a snippet from a program that does just that:

IA = WINIO@('%hw%cc&', KHAND, GE ...

I can beat John, as I have FTN77/386 on 5.25" floppies!

Agreed that the revisions to Fortran have sometimes superceded the need for some extension routines, and also have provided constructs t ...

Thomas,

Paul's reply is actually the best way forward. DBOS won't work with many of the later versions of Windows, only with a 16-bit version of MS DOS. The Personal Edition is a complete version o ...

Hi Paul,

Probably not worth investigating, as it is my interest in archaeology!

Interesting though.

I had a look at Ken�s example, and there isn�t a need to �print� to PDF, you can capture the screen image with shift-PrintScreen, the paste into Paint and select and cut the bits you want.

Bill,

I'm mightily impressed that you do PDF output, although you can lay out pages with ClearWin+ and then use the WIndows PDF print driver.

The argument is not whether the facility is useful or essential, but whether the implicit meaning of the label and/or the definition of what it does (given in FTN95.CHM), make what it does cle ...

Paul,

I'm a real oldie, as you probably know, and am completely content with column 72 being the end of useful space. You are probably right that the name is misleading - it certainly seems so to m ...

Looking in FTN95.CHM I found:

/NO_TRUNCATE
Characters beyond column 72 (132 for free format files) are treated as an error.

Surely there's a 'not' missing?

Eddie

I have long found having FTN95.CHM on the desktop as Paul suggests to be a good thing anyway. The same can be said for CWPLUS.enh and FTN95.enh, although they need to be read in Notepad.

Well, Dan, If you are afraid that you are approaching your disk limit with the general run of things in your work, you can keep a check by interrogating 'Properties' for any disk in the File Explorer. ...

Dan,

Why I don't use OpenGL:
(1) I can't find a user guide to OpenGL written in plain English
(2) Ordinary ClearWin+ graphics are good enough for what I do.

Why I don't crave multiprocessing: ...

Steve,

John Horspool was a regular and fantastically helpful contributor to this forum until shortly before he passed away from cancer. He made his living from a finite element stress analysis syst ...

Ah. John Horspool. RIP.
