But the problem is third party software, for example BLAS (CBLAS interface). Users of fortran haven't the problem because they can use at BLAS/LAPACK compile time the flag -fdefault-integer-8, but C/C++ users can't do it. -- ***************************************** José Luis García Pallero jgpallero@xxxxxxxxx (o< / / \ V_/_ Use Debian GNU/Linux and enjoy! *****************************************
