    Thot I would try to write some intro stuff on the
    F03 features in Lahey. I don't think I can do much
    until I understand a lot more about how it works.

    I can't just try things the way I think they should
    work, because the compiler accepts things illegal
    and doesn't accept other things.

    For example, apparently the SELECT TYPE construct
    is not accepted. If I understand anything at all,
    it seems you can't do much polymorphism without it.

    Before going any further, I need more discusssion
    with somebody about how this is all supposed to
    work or maybe get the NAG compiler to check things.

    Brian, maybe as we drive to CA in Dec., we can
    figure out some of this, or else hope that Rich
    continues his tutorial on the OO features.

    Anyway, I am giving up for now.
