Yes, that was my main question too. Note that I am NOT the author or maintainer of this package. I've just been tasked with converting it to use gfortran. > Unless some flags were used that were not mentioned in the original > post, shoudn't the 73-character line fail just as much whether it's > compiled with g77 or gfortran, because of that same punchcard-style > statement requirement? I've checked the makefile and the log, the actual command was as stated: gfortran -g -O2 -c fortestF.f Attempting to build the original package on my x86 system it does: g77 -g -O2 -c fortestF.f which builds ok. So it would appear that the Debian version of g77 does not have the 72 char limit. regards, Colin -- Colin Tuckley | +44(0)1903 236872 | PGP/GnuPG Key Id Debian Developer | +44(0)7799 143369 | 0x1B3045CE Try to learn from other people's mistakes, you haven't time to make them all yourself! - Anon
