Ann Arbor Lines: 29 UUCP-Path: ihnp4!umich!zippy.eecs.umich.edu!pla We get this output from the following program: $ test.bin 1.0000000000000000E-99 *********************** 1.0000000000000000-101 $ Where test.ftn is: read*8 x x = 1.0e-99 write(6,*) x x = 1.0e-100 write(6,*) x x = 1.0e-101 write(6,*) x end We are running sr9.6, but we've had this problem for the last few releases. Any ideas? Note that we get problems only with an exponent of E-100. Perhaps there is some kind of overflow problem, but I'd like to know if it is my fault or the ftnlib's fault. Thanks...
