Rounded to the nearest K, 2003 _is_ 2K (regardless of which definition of K you use). Rounded to the nearest integer, 2003 _is_not_ 2000. That is why I find Fortran 2K tolerable even though I find Fortran 2000 undesirable. However, if none of the others in the Fortran 2003 camp feel the same way, my suggestion is useless as a compromise. -Kurt -- Kurt W Hirchert hirchert@atmos.uiuc.edu UIUC Department of Atmospheric Sciences +1-217-265-0327
