Re: Interested in participating in Fortran study to compile very large modules

[Arjen Markus <arjen.markus895@gmail.com>]

MicroSoft's Fortran compiler is a very old compiler that has not been
maintained in a very long time. The gfortran compiler and the Intel Fortran
oneAPI compiler, both freely available, would easily handle such arrays as
you mention. What system are you running on?
