FTN 64 bit file fmt -vs- 32 bit file fmt

[frisbie]

Can a Windows binary file written with64 bit Fortran be read by a 32 bit Fortran program? If not, is there a conversion utility? Also, what is the bit wise structure of say a 64 bit FTN double precision word (location of the mantissa and the exponent bits).

Thanks: tdko@comcast.net

File formats are the same, as are datatypes. Double precision is the standard IEEE 754 double precision with one sign bit, 11 exponentbits and 52 fraction bits. And, while you didn't ask, many do - the default dataypes are also the same. Default REAL and default INTEGER are 32-bit types on both platforms.
