dear friends,
i am using ifort compiler in linux.
when i am trying to write something like
write(*,'(1x,'a20',advance='no')"STARTING CALCULATION"
.
!do the calculation.
.
write(*,'a18')"calculation done'

i am expecting the program to write "STARTING CALCULATION" at the
beginning of the calc; do the calc. and write "calculation done' in
the same line when its over.
but its not doing the same thing..rather its waiting to finish the
calc. and writing the whole line in one go...anu idea?

  Identifier name length in g77

Hi All,
Could somebody tell what is the limitation on the length of identifier
names (functions, variables) in GNU g77 compiler ?
To my knowledge, the Fortran 77 standard limits these names to just six
characters. On the other hand actual compilers, including g77, permit
using longer names (which I usually do). Now I'm debugging a piece of
code in which I used this freedom but encountered some strange
behaviours and am not sure whether I did not go with identifier names
lengths to far.

Thank you in advance,

lukasz
