Subject: Re:  Unformatted sequential read/write

Okay - Its 32 bit -- but sorry I don't understand portable (one computer 
involved)  or target?  What I have been doing over
the last couple of months  is testing the gfortran compiler on a large 
simulation,  and comparing results with those produced
by the same  inputs and the program compiled with g77 (used for several 
years).  There are four modules involved and I
tested the use of  the g77 binary output from  the first module as input 
for the second module compiled with gfortran. 

Thus far he gfortran compiler has identified a couple  of bugs - but I 
could  do a lot more testing if  bug #20236 (T  edit descriptor)
were fixed - the code uses this convention in many places, and it is no 
small task to change to the X edit descriptor.

Thanks for responding.
