I will make the change and continue my evaluation.

Kurt,

I'm afraid CHANGEDIRQQ was a Compaq Visual Fortran extension. However, GNU Fortran implements the CHDIR subroutine that should work similarly:

CHDIR Change working directory
Description:
Change current working directory to a specified path.
This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms; however, only one form can be used in any given program unit.
Standard:
GNU extension
Class:
Subroutine, function
Syntax:
CALL CHDIR(NAME [, STATUS])
STATUS = CHDIR(NAME)
Arguments:
NAME The type shall be CHARACTER of default kind and shall specify a valid path within the file system.
STATUS (Optional) INTEGER status flag of the default kind. Returns 0 on success, and a system specific and nonzero error code otherwise.

Use of other DLLs

On some code that ran under Visual Fortran, I had used a variable CHANGEDIRQQ. This reset the focus of the code to a different folder on my PC so the next round of processing could continue on the files within the new folder. I suspect Visual Fortran had a library or area which was automatically included in the linking process. Can SF do something like this? Are there DLLs or other related files somewhere that I can put into my installation for future use?

Thanks...Kurt
