Re: g77: problems with allocating more than 64M doubles or .5 Gbytes to an array

[Dr M Braun <braunm at kiaat dot unisa dot ac dot za>]

Dear Craig

Thanks a lot for your prompt answer!

however I must admit that I do not understand the last line of your
message !

what do you mean by          
tq vm, (burley) ?

This limitation also seems also not to be documented in the info about g77!


Is there any hope that this limitation can be fixed in one of the next
versions of g77 or do I have to 
i) either use f2c
or
ii) by a commercial compiler 


regards
