However, I then attended a talk by one of the people who actually worked on it - and from that talk it seemed they only used run-of-the-mill object oriented programming features of C++. Unfortunately, the only way forward would be to study the code - and I do not have time to do that ... -- Toon Moene - e-mail: toon@moene.org - phone: +31 346 214290 Saturnushof 14, 3738 XG Maartensdijk, The Netherlands At home: http://moene.org/~toon/; weather: http://moene.org/~hirlam/ Progress of GNU Fortran: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran#news
