Your own words aren't so easy to read when internally randomized.

Oh shit, I forgot to ask before I hijacked your paragraph.

Hey! Speaking of languages... anyone program in Fortran77 lately? Could you tell me why all my programs result in the same a.out file that says this:

^?ELF^A^A^A^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^B^@^C^@^A^@^@

It's not me, because these are programs I ripped of the Internet to test out the Linux box I'm writing them on (which is Miami's, so if it's screwed up, there's nothing I can do about it)...

Shouldn't you be running an a.out file not reading it?

Post by **Yasmeen** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 3:54 pm

Everytime I've seen an a.out file, it's represented program output. You might be right, though. I tried running it, and got this:

fowleryj@easlnx01:~/fortran> f77 a.out
a.out: file not recognized: File truncated
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Post by **Yasmeen** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 3:55 pm

What program would you use to run the a.out file? It makes sense that "f77" would only recognize ".f" files...

Post by **lordjim_2001** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 3:58 pm

you shouldn't have to do anything for an a.out file.

just:

~>a.out

and it should run like anyother program.
