Instead, it's the compiler name that matters. If you call it as "xlf", it uses fixed format by default. If you call it xlf90 or xlf95, it uses free format. You can change this by using the flag -qfixed or -qfree to specify the format. In most configurations the xlf compiler expects files to have a .f suffix. If you need to compile files with a .f90 suffix, one way is to specify the flag -qsuffix=f=f90 on the command line. -- Dave Seaman Oral Arguments in Mumia Abu-Jamal Case to be heard May 17 U.S. Court of Appeals, Third Circuit <http://mumia2000.org/>
