Re: f90 netcdf with Digital Visual Fortran

Has anyone managed to compile the netcdf f90 interface using
Digital Visual Fortran under Windows?

I'd be keen to know that as well as we only depend on the f77 bindings with VF at present. The f90 bindings compile fine with Lahey and Absoft, but we have yet to use them. We still use the <cringe> f77 bindings for our f90 codes <shrug> "if it ain't broke don't fix it" =:>

PS: I don't want to sound evil or mean, but VF is a lousy development compiler. It allows too many "errors" and poor programming practices to compile and run. (eg:, divide by zeros are allowed even when trapped, array shape conformance is not honored etc etc etc) It is getting better though. We run our codes through Lahey and Absoft before allowing VF to compile executables for Windows.
