Ha!
It's probably my advancing age, but these special cases with regards to
argument passing are really starting to annoy me... mostly because I
*still* keep brain-fading about them, but also because these days I
expect my code to do what I want, rather than what I tell it to do - a
definite sign of old-codger-ism[*] :o).
Time to translate the code to Fortran2003 I guess. Urg. (Which we sorta
have to do anyway, I was just hoping not to need to do it for a couple
more years.)
cheers,
paulv
[*] Or, more likely, I think I'm in an "autonomous stage" but I'm really
still in a "cognitive stage" with regards to programming skill.
