Re: Are f.p. manipulation functions only used in initialization?

Hi James,

Testing with gfortran I found that
RRSPACING, SCALE, SET_EXPONENT, and, SPACING were broken like this,
while EXPONENT, FRACTION, and NEAREST seemed to work

Thanks for your example, I will try to reduce it and understand what's
happening; if it happens to not be a Fortran front-end issue, I'll alert
our great Win64 developers to it.
