- MS FORTRAN can use several different libraries. They determine how
- floating point is implemented. If the library file name ends in "7", you
- must have an 80x87 co-processor chip, if the file name ends in "E", you
- don't need the co-processor (but I think that it is used if it is present),
- and if the file name ends in "A", a propriatary, non-IEEE compliant
- floating point standard is used. Details of all of this are in the
- documentation. My best guess of your problem is the following. You have a
- co-processor and installed the "7" library. When you compiled, however,
- the "fl" processor defaults to the "E" library which is not present in your
- library directory. To get around this, you can specify the proper library
- with the following "fl" switches: /FPc87 or /FPi87 (see the manual for the
- differences in these). The other solution is to add the following command
- line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- set fl= /FPi87
-
- I may also have this backwards, and you might need to "tell" fl to use the
- "E" or "A" library. Anyway, I hope this helps.
