Hey Folks,

Can anybody tell me the size of the largest array I can dimension?
I am using Lahey FORTRAN 90. I was able to dimension and populate
4 arrays, each with 100,000,000 elements. When I added another, I
received an error stating that the compiled executable was not a
legal Win32 application.

I get the idea that I can only use 2 gigs of memory. I have a machine
with 6 gigs of memory (running Win 2000 Advanced Server). I want to
use as much as possible. Can somebody fill me in if there is a switch
I can use when compiling to let the program use more memory?

Thanks,
