Because I'm reading this in comp.sys.super, and that's a reasonable thing to ask for an implementation of on a super computer. Whether it'll interfere with programmer coded parallellisation - well, that's up to the programmer. If I want to code explicit parallellism, I know where to find OCCAM :-) -- Toon Moene (mailto:toon@moene.indiv.nluug.nl) Saturnushof 14, 3738 XG Maartensdijk, The Netherlands Phone: +31 346 214290; Fax: +31 346 214286 g77 Support: mailto:fortran@gnu.org; NWP: http://www.knmi.nl/hirlam
