He means, read the Fortran manual. A good look at the language and good documentation are here: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran I think you've got a second problem in that you impugned gfortran of "treachery." Then the F might be FX Flipping out. If you bother to familiarize yourself with gfortran.pdf, it might go a long way to smoothing over such snafus. -- Ron Ford "Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot."

It usually means that the poster would have gotten an answer with less effort if he/she/it had bothered with such an old fashioned activity. On occasion there are folks who, for obscure reasons, have been known to provide misleading answers that involve massive detours and other "longcuts". And then there are the folks who confidently give a wrong answer. But then you get what you pay for. The joys of the internet. *In the case of C the meaning clearly can not be Read The Fortran Manual. Some folks believe that the F is for some other common expletive. > I think you've got a second problem in that you impugned gfortran of > "treachery."

That might be the exact meaning for someone who deserves better than the horrible C programming language. C.l.f. discusses the topic of C better than clc. > Some folks believe that the F is for some other common expletive. Fortran and fine are not expletives. Unless, next time I bump my head I say, "Jesus Fortran Christ!" I would vote for the initialism meaning: read the fetchin manual. -- Ron Ford
