Do you *read* the posts in this thread? Or do you just keep repeating
yourself regardless of what anyone else says? How can you work at CERN and
be unaware that the number crunching codes that you speak of are mostly
fortran. As I and several others have pointed out, 2 different fortran
compilers on the Mac AUTOMATICALLY put in WaitNextEvent calls. The
portable source code remains completely untouched. I've ported over
100,000 lines of fortran that way, and it works fine.
