Hello netters.

Here are my dumb question(s):

1. i tried to compile a 1650-line Fortran program from a Cyber
to model liquid flow. When I tried to pass it through the optimizer
with options different than '-O', iropt dumbs core after the occupation of
over 8 MBytes (as the 'top' program showed).
I tried the following options, to no avail:
-O3
-O3 -fsoft (Note: we don't have a 68881)
-O -fsoft
-O -mc68020
Simple '-O' works fine, but the executable seems rather large
(160 K, versus the 56 K of the source. The VAX optimizer
emitted only a 80 K executable).
Hadware: SUN 3/50, 4Mbytes RAM, CDC 300MB HD (shared among
other two 3/50s, no FPU, SunOS 3.5 (EXPORT))
It's something going wrong here?

2. We're going to install SunOS 4.0, but from what I see here in the net,
started to fear the presence of many bugs. My fear is serious, because
just some days ago we aquired a decade of SUNs with one(or more) servers.
Is it a good idea to insist on 3.5 and wait for a more debugged version?

Please send e-mail, and I'll summarize.

Have a nice day,
Nick.
