[McIDAS #NSK-356956]: Updating code from F77 to F90



Hi Kevin,

I would not be surprised at all if 'mccomp' had no knowledge of Fortran 90
source files.  Since I have never tried doing what you are in the process of 
trying,
I can't speak authoritatively on the subject.

The best that I can offer is that I can try to work through a couple of 
examples with you.
This would help/force me to become familiar with the challenges/problems and 
perhaps
figure out a solution.

I am guessing yes, but I don't know of anyone who has tried this (there may be 
someone
out there doing this that I am now aware of).  I would venture to guess that 
there will
be some problems with one or more routines/packages (several packages are 
included with
the McIDAS-X distribution).  Solving the problems encountered is something I 
had to
do when modifying code so as to be compatible with gfortran a number of years 
ago
(I did a port to gfortran use _way_ before SSEC was forced into examining the 
problem
when g77 went away).  Again, I can work along with you and help to figure out
solutions to problems encountered.  Please let me know if this interests you.

re:
> Many thanks,

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
