Hello Ralph: Please forgive if this has already been covered...
Have you considered prefixing each line of output from each process with something like "process_number" and a colon? That is what IBM's poe does. Separating the output is then easy: cat file | grep 0: > file.0 cat file | grep 1: > file.1 etc. In the meantime, I got around the problem by having each process open its own file (instead of using stdout), and embedding the process number in the file name. Hope that helps, Douglas.

The syntactically incorrect statement "DO 10 I = 1.10" will parse and generate code creating a variable, DO10I, as follows: "DO10I = 1.10" If that doesn't terrify you, it should.
