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:

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?

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

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

you shouldn't have to do anything for an a.out file.
just:
~>a.out
and it should run like anyother program.
