I'm using CVF/DVF V6.6 in F95 mode, after some 3 years away from this.

I cannot find where to set the interpretation of RECL, in the direct
access mode open statement, to mean bytes and not the default 4-byte
chunks, in the Visual Studio envronment. I know setting "form data
something", somewhere, to be bytes and not 4 bytes, causes the
compiler to then use "/assume byteslrec" as the option, but I cannot
find any of these options choices to set, and library and linking
specs and so on.
Where is this set of options hiding? Which Tab and which line in the
tab?
I think yo click on one more thing afterwards...

I DO know I kept NOT being able to find this when I was using F95 back-
when, either, but usually stumbled onto it.

This time my stumbling isn't working, in fat two long a time
..
I ALSO would like to lnow how to tell the "on-line help" to include
the Visual Fortran help file I have (which I CAN consult directly via
a short cut I set up long ago). Right now. clicking on help gives me
everything EXCEPT the Visual Fortran information in the "file
collection."
Better still, how to tell it "use the Fortran help file only".
..
I searched the 2-inch thick Compaq manual and the on-line manual
without finding answers to these two questions. I hate I am beginning
to forget some things, when I can remember all the source code so
clearly...

SORRY ABOUT THE TYPOS. they're so obvious afterwards...

Fortran tab, Category Fortran data

Not sure about another help file; the "Active Subject" selection in the
navigation window should allow Fortran collection to be selected. The
IDE retains this preference in its ini file.

I still don't know about any other help files but to find the options in
the IDE, look at the help subsection "Compile and Link Options under
"Setting Build Options". It gives a general section guide that helps
narrow down their location in the IDE although there's no complete
cross-reference from each switch to its location in the IDE as would be
most useful.

Note, however, that if you get frustrated w/ the IDE check boxes, etc.,
to set one of the more exotic ones like this, you can simply enter it
into the additional options box at the bottom of the compiler options
and it will be picked up.

There are some (although I don't know there's an actual list of them,
either) that are only settable in the IDE in this manual manner.

The real answer is to learn how to use the INQUIRE(IOLENGTH=...)
capability. Then the problem can be solved in a portable fashion
and never worried about again.
