There is two solution either your fortran compiler has an option to generates C style function name. it is not supported by all compiler and I am not sure for g77 either you create a warping function in C wich is fork_ and call fork By the way to don't get confuse afterward you d rather call your function with a prefix so it do not look too simalar to the C function in fortran and C code like fc_fork_ or whatever. ////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // Stephane Cateland // // Adersa 10 rue de la croix Martre // 91873 Palaiseau cedex FRANCE // // Phone [switchboard] (33) 0 160 135 353 // Fax (33) 0 169 200 563 // ////////////////////////////////////////////////// - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
