In fact, I've deleted all of the previous context. :-) Not sure why you're forced away from FreeBSD because of Fortran. gfortran has been a part of GCC since 2005. Although the first year or two of gfortran's life saw a large number of bugsi and patches, since gcc 4.4,x ori 4.5.x, she's been a very good compiler. -- Steve
