"Error 1210: Extended precision floating point (REAL*10) is not supported
in 64-bit mode"

Any suggestions to get more then real*8 ?

I don't have any immediate suggestions relating to FTN95.

Dan,

You need a real*16 higher precision software emulation library; they must exist. (google quad precision ?)
I have no experience with using these but expect it would be messy and slow !!
I presume you would require a derived type to store the "real*16" variables and have limited access to the calculations.
Would complex(2) provide the storage ?

For simple multiplication and accumulation, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm
This may help.

John

I don't have access to the book right now to check whether it is what you need, but there is a section on "Arbitrary precision" in "Numerical Recipes"

See http://crd-legacy.lbl.gov/~dhbailey/mpdist/ for one package that enables multiple precision.

Other compilers have support for REAL*16 using compiler switches.

Multiple precision is not to be chosen without due deliberation and a well-reasoned conclusion that it is necessary.
