(When compiled with f77 it produces an executable of size 24576.) The problem is lk rather than fort, since the object file produced is of size 475. Similar problems arise when using vcc. After spending 3 hours reading the manuals, I am at a loss. Can anyone tell me how to make this linker do a NON-BRAIN-DAMAGED job of linking programs with large arrays?????
