D'oh, I didn't take my Fortran book on my travel but http://www.fortran.com/F77_std/f77_std.html doesn't list any mechanism to influence the size of an INTEGER. What am I missing?

I think the key issue here is that there is no compiler in use anymore that *only* supports F77 syntax (even those that have "77" in their executable name). There hasn't been a only-supports-fortran-77-syntax compiler for many, many years (since the early-/mid-90s? That's a guess). So using (KIND=foo) syntax, even though that didn't debut until F90 or F95 (or whatever; I'm no Fortran expert) is perfectly acceptable here. -- Jeff Squyres [email protected]
