David Bourne looked more closely and realized that the test program was flawed. Certain variables are used which would have been initialized to zero in the NONMEM environment, but were uninitialized in the test environment. In the Mac environment (unlike Unix and Microsoft), uninitialized memory is filled with garbage rather than zeros. With correct initialization, Mac Fortran II results appear to be correct. He is still checking various levels of optimization. The bug in the driver does not explain the incorrect results from Powerstation Fortran with /Ox, because these are in values that do not depend on previous initialization. Alison
