              Release notes for the Microsoft(R) FORTRAN
             Professional Development System, Version 5.1
This document contains release notes for version 5.1 of the Microsoft FORTRAN Professional Development System for MS-DOS(R) and the Microsoft Operating System/2 (MS(R) OS/2). The information in this document is more up-to-date than that in the manuals and the Microsoft Advisor (online help).

Microsoft improves its languages documentation at the time of reprinting, so some of the information in this file may already be in your manuals.

Displaying FORTRAN Arrays in CodeView

CodeView allows you to expand arrays and examine the individual elements of an array. This feature, however, only works on one- dimensional arrays. Arrays of two dimensions or more cannot be expanded in CodeView.

Another limitation of CodeView is that it cannot keep track of elements of HUGE arrays beyond the first 64K, or first segment, of the array. An attempt to display an array element beyond the first segment will fail to give the proper value.

** NOTE ** The following information applies to the "Advanced Topics" manual.

TXTONLY.OBJ

TXTONLY.OBJ is useful for programs that may use _clearscreen, _outtext,_settextcolor, _settextwindow, and so on, but do not use graphics. If you have a program that never has to work in or switch into graphics modes and never changes the palette, linking TXTONLY.OBJ into your DOS .EXE file (in the .OBJ field) will save about 12K of .EXE size.
