I'm a bit confused. Typically, an option such as this makes the default real
kind be double precision. The Intel equivalent is -r8. And I'd think this
would solve your problem, But the Absoft man page description makes no sense
to me - it is saying that things you declare as double precision get treated
as if they were single precision! Is that really what you want? (And is that
really what it does?) If so, Intel Fortran does not have such an option.
