I suppose you wrote MPICH1.1, but meant MPI 1.1. A discussion of Fortran specific problems is given in the MPI2 document (e.g. http://www.mpi-forum.org/docs/mpi-20-html/mpi2-report.html), section "Fortran Support". Further, I have to offer an MPI module providing enhanced MPI1 support for Fortran90 (e.g. explicit generic interfaces, optional and keyword arguments). It may be set up on top of any MPI implementation (e.g. MPICH 1.1) . The module including a documentation is freely available at http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/~jstiller/pub/mpi_module.ps.gz Joerg -- Joerg Stiller, TU Dresden, Institut fuer Stroemungsmechanik, D-01062 T/F: ++49 351 4893/5246 elm: j.stiller@ism.tu-dresden.de www: http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/~jstiller
