Hi,

Can someone in the net enlighten me about the following?

1.  What languages support the run-time array sizing in a particular module
as in FORTRAN 8x ?  Please list.

2  It seems (I'm not sure) impossible to dimension a local array 
dynamically even in FORTRAN 8x.  What languages support such dynamic 
array sizing in any place as can be done in Turing?  Please list.

3  Please list languages that cannot do either.

   FORTRAN 77, and ___________

4.  Is such dynamic array feature too costly to implement or what?

Thanks.
                         Hugh   gsg0384@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu
