From: Gary Scott on 30 Nov 2008 20:44 Page 142 8th line, appears to be a spurious/redundant "a" or "some" present in the sentence. Page 576 last itemized list item (#3). I'm assuming that it is only referring to use of pointer arithmetic on the arguments themselves (not quite sure why you might do that), not to prohibit use of pointer arithmetic internally (e.g. I use c function calls into a device driver that increments a hard coded address to operate hardware). -- Gary Scott mailto:garylscott(a)sbcglobal dot net Fortran Library: http://www.fortranlib.com Support the Original G95 Project: http://www.g95.org -OR- Support the GNU GFortran Project: http://gcc.gnu.org/fortran/index.html If you want to do the impossible, don't hire an expert because he knows it can't be done. -- Henry Ford

I haven't checked them yet, but I forwarded your comments to all of the coauthors (although several of them read this newsgroup, so it is probably a duplicate copy for them). -- Richard Maine | Good judgment comes from experience; email: last name at domain . net | experience comes from bad judgment. domain: summertriangle | -- Mark Twain

You do this with fortran? -- George America is a Nation with a mission - and that mission comes from our most basic beliefs. We have no desire to dominate, no ambitions of empire.

I take it your defence went well? -- George The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain.
