It depends on the linker that your Fortran compiler uses. Most NT Ada compilers use Microsoft C++'s linker (Rational VADS and Alsys are two examples). If your Fortran compiler produces object files that are compatable with Microsoft's linker, you're in business. On the other hand, I believe GNAT uses its own (actually, gcc's) linker. This would probably make it compatable with any gcc-Fortran port to NT, if there is such a thing. One extra word of advice; I suggest starting the NT port from the SGI version, not the VMS version. In my experience, NT's internals are a lot closer to UNIX's internals than to VMS's. -- T.E.D. | Work - mailto:dennison@escmail.orl.mmc.com | | Home - mailto:dennison@iag.net | | URL - http://www.iag.net/~dennison |
