-ffree-form is compiler-specific: it will not work on Sun's f77 for example, and Sun's f95 needs -free. The only way to make a portable package is to use standard code layout as described in the link at http://developer.r-project.org/Portability.html Whatever you heard `on the archives' is incorrect. The correct information is in the R-admin manual: reading that is part of the homework expected before posting. > > Ales > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Simon Urbanek" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Alea }iberna" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: "R Development Mailing List" <r-devel@stat.math.ethz.ch> > Sent: Friday, August 26, 2005 8:29 PM > Subject: Re: [Rd] Free-form to fixed-form Fortran > > > Aleai, > > On Aug 26, 2005, at 10:36 AM, Alea }iberna wrote: > >> I have writen some subrutines in Free-form Fortran.
