Many of the companies coming out with parallel computer systems are doing parallelizing FORTRAN as the first language. Still not the best way to express things, but it allows you to port code. And even with compilers like Alliant's it is still good to go through the code and modify loops to remove dependencies between variables etc, it helps the compiler perform better. -- Rich Miner !ulowell!miner Cntr for Productivity Enhancement 617-452-5000x2693
