This question is aimed at Fortran programmers. I have a piece of software that was written many years ago to run on an Intel 8086 processor. We are going to change the processors to Intel 80486 processors. The question is, will the original Fortran software still run on the 80486 processor or are there changes that need to be made to it. If you have an answer I would be extremely grateful. I cannot go into further detail I am afraid as it is a matter of security. Many thanks Chris South Chief Technician Royal Air Force --------------InterScan_NT_MIME_Boundary--
