Please point to _ANY_ statement I made about Forttran not allowing side effects for which the subject line of the article did not _explicitly_ refer to the special case in question. If you can't, you have failed to make _any_ valid point. If you don't, I will not respond to this subject again. I also have a complete history of this discussion to refer back to. J. Giles Los Alamos
