Inertia? Export/import is in Fortran 90. But you should have seen the public review complaints about it. Most people seem to want INCLUDE and most people seem to oppose export/import. I think this is programmer inertia, not language inertia. If people got used to export/import, I suspect they would lose interest in INCLUDE. J. Giles
