If you are using Intel Fortran, use version
9.0.032 or later.
Versions 8 and earlier 9 have a harmful bug
(or bugs?) in treating some kind of division...
Its effect was detected in some applicaitons.
Version 9.0.031 fixed the divison bug, but there seems to
remain some other(s). Version 9.0.032 seems to be
good.
Version 7 is free from such a bug(s).

To the old Mac OS X users. Don't use /usr/bin/tar or
/usr/local/bin/tar to expand archive inside an older
version .
If a newer file has smaller size than the corresponding older one,
those tar's cannot replace the old file correctly by the new one.
The fink tar (/sw/bin/tar) is safe to do so. Linux tar is also
proved to be good. (recent Mac OS X is now safe)
To the Red Hat Linux 9.0 users
Its sort command is buggy. For the 'fordpm' command,
the sort needs almost infinte
time (say, 1 hour instead of 1ms needed by a normal sort).
To avoid such a case, use an older red hat sort command (red
hat 7.3's sort is proved to be good).

WarningIntel fortran (ifort), with -g option,
may lead to any strange resutls. So -g option should not be used. (experience
at v10.1). The default treatment in site.config is no -g option.
WarningIntel fortran (ifort), with 64 bit version,
may lead to any strange results. You should used 32 bit version even the environment
you are in permits 64 bit version.
