Compilling F77 Files in Intel Visual Fortran

[judios]

I am compilling several files written in F77, using Intel Visual Fortran in Visual Studio 2008
The compiller gives me the following error
An allocate/deallocate object must have the ALLOCATABLE or POINTER attribute

This seems to be a feature of F90 and up

Is there any way to force the compiler to use F77 only? I am using the flag to Fixed Format, but still produces the same error.

Thanks.

hello

ALLOCATE and allocatable arrays was not included ion F77 standard. So, your F77 sources files use an proprietary extension to F77. CVF and IVF can compile Microsoft F77 extension without modification but it seems that your F77 source files use another compiler extensions.

I think that you must change your source fils to accommodate to Microsoft extensions or F90 standard.

The Microsoft F77 extension syntax was :

REAL*8 array[allocatable](:)

ALLOCATE(array(dim))

...

DEALLOCATE(ARRAY)
