Well, that's the point then:
README.xlf: * @(#) 01 1.2.10.1 11/12/98 18:05:52
$ xlf -qsuffix=f=f90 -c foo.f90
** foo === End of Compilation 1 ===
1501-510 Compilation successful for file foo.f90.
Bad news for me, it means that I *will* have to deal with the
fortran 90 extension in some way :-(
Could you perhaps consult your manual and find out whether that
old version had an equivalent to the -qsuffix option?
Regards
Martin
