Hi,
I'm using wpvm with Fortran powerstation and I have problem
with packing arrays of character.
I have a file, with 200 rows, that I read into 200 arrays of character,
with length 70
 character*70 row(200)
I have tried to pack each row as a STRING with length 70. If I use
row(50) everything
is okay, but when I increases the number of used rows (row(100)) the
program doesn't work.

Is the buffer to big? Can anyone tell me how I should solve the problem
with arrays of character.
Is possible to send files among parent and child in another way?

All answers will are appriciated.
