- Am looking for a reasonably clean way to write 'stream' unformatted i/o
- from a fortran program on, lets say, a convex machine.
- (just to check that i am using the correct term, i mean that i
- want to write to a file from a fortran program that a C program
- can read later - ie, without the fortran control words inside)
- i know that the Cray has the .assign statement, that on a VAX
- one can use RECORDTYPE=STREAM in an OPEN statement, but i don't
- see how to do it on a convex. i realize that one can write a C
- program to do it, but i can't manage to find the right manual
- that gives me the rules for calling C from FORTRAN (77).
- (the reasons for needing a stream data file are rather
- drawn out, but for the task at hand, it seems to be best)
- any suggestions or references would be of help. you can reply
- to me here or through email. thanks
