Interesting, getting the sin(x) from crossing two vectors in vector algebra. After getting the sin(x), want to get the arc sin as asin(x) but need more precision. In standard Fortran95 there is supposed to be a math function dasin(x) to return the double precision value. When I enter into the Fortran source routine, it compiles and builds the execution module fine. When I try to execute, I get the error, "call to a missing routine"? was this function left out of the 64 bit system or? Sid Kraft

No problem using v9 .03. 0 with /64

Which version of the compiler are you using?

In modern Fortran (90 and later), ASIN is preferred, as it is generic and handles precision based on the argument type.

Why "compiler_version" does not work without

use iso_fortran_env ?

Dan,

iso_fortran_env is a "standard" module introduced in Fortran 2008.

COMPILER_VERSION and COMPILER_OPTIONS were added to the module as part of Fortran 2018.

Ok, what do you think
1) is it possible that adding

use iso_fortran_env

might somehow detrimentally and unpredictably influence my existing codes?

2) If detrimental influence possible then If i just make the small subroutine in the same code where i will locally use

use iso_fortran_env

just to display the compiler version info, will this influence the rest of the code?

So far so good, thanks for suggestion
Such my worries and precautions are because 9.05 was not working well everywhere and caused me to scale down to 9.03 but today even stable 9.03 refused to run some new additions within Clearwin code. Fun is that all older CWP code with many thousands of controls works OK but added today just 5-7 more ones caused problems with %rb and controlling their on/off state two %ga controls. Isn't this that notorious devilry? This is literally impossible but happening right in front of you. This is why more users have to report the bugs and problems instead of procrastinating and finding workarounds

The entire handy code i included into my app showing also library version is here (fro those who might be interested)

Dan,

Try this. Everything in a single function.

Ken,
Great, that's exactly how i wanted to polish it but had not a bit of time.

Company has more actively advertise Clearwin, show more examples of usage, devote each its new feature separate topic and show where programmers will benefit from it.

For example i found in your post this handy functions you just mentioned without relationship to anything. Definitely Silverfrost described it somewhere in its ENH files, but these files only 1.5 people sometimes read. But would be way better if company organized the new topics in this forum and in their main website "New Features of Clearwin+" and "New Features of Compiler" where it show in good usable forms including video if needed what these features do and how to use them. In such threads users would be able also to contribute. May be will be reasonable also to organize email subscription of infos like that. All these decades the information like this is essentially catching the dust in the table shelf
