REAL(KIND=3) can be used for 32 bit applications.

Yes thank you. This is a known issue. At the moment alternative functions, to those requiring these, headers must be employed. |

The FTN95 help file FTN95.chm has a section ClearWin+ -> Functions ported from DBOS -> Table of alternative routines.
This says, for example, use DRAW_ELLIPSE@ for ELLIPSE@ etc.. |
