------- Comment #4 from dir at lanl dot gov 2007-12-06 14:56 ------- I have several programs (f77 and f90) that do this and their intent is clear - just put the bit patterns into to words as requested - no data conversion - no range checking. BOZ seems to have been created for this purpose, but the committee seems the have lost track of why programs need specific bit patterns and how they are used. How about adding something like a "-fhex" enhancement that does this ?
