D,

If you read the release notes: 

http://code.google.com/p/rfortran/wiki/VersionHistory#v2.0.0_-_19_Feb_2010

You will note that the CVF version has yet to be updated for this v2.0.0 
release.
(mostly because my installation of CVF is currently inoperable requires 
re-installing)

You are most welcome to update the CVF files yourself.

Otherwise, this is planned to be updated in next minor release (v2.1) of 
RFortran.

Michael, are you able to update CVF at all?

Cheers,
Mark

CVF patch attached that appears to resolve CVF issues encountered thus far.

Includes both updates to the CVF project and also the buggy 'vartyp' handling.

May I ask Mark as Developer-In-Chief to check the changes (using IVF, as the
RGet_Rput file has changed) and update both the offical and trunk versions of 
RFortran.

D,

My CVF installation has somehow been corrupted on both my laptop and my desktop 
and I can no longer "add files". This means I can only do very limited testing 
of the CVF version. Do you know how I can 
un-install CVF- I could not find it in "add/remove programs"?

I've included most of your patches and also made some other changes to enable 
compilation with CVF. These have been committed to the release branch: 
svn/branches/ver-2.0 .

Would you mind updating and checking everything is working ok with your CVF 
before I create a new installer. 

One question - why the need to change the declaration of the variable, vartyp? 
Your patch changed it in some sections and not others. I would like to 
understand before I implement these changes in the 
entire code. The renaming of variables when used from a module is a F90 
feature. At my end, both CVF and IVF compile using the existing version. What 
bug did this create?

Once these minor issues are resolved I will create a new installer.

Mark 

You patch only changed it

in the patched locations, you were accessing the same entity - which is 
incidentally,
a parameter (eg, VT_R8) in 2 ways: once via its original name and another thru 
the
renaming facility. this was triggering an error in my CVF 6.6.B (from memory, an
attempt to reference the same entity via different names). I also dont believe 
that
is allowed by the standard.

also I think the patch makes it clearer what is going on - it actually took me a
while to figure out what you were doing in the original code..

i have no problem checking the CVF version of RFortran.

I've updated the handling of vartyp, its available from the release version:

svn/branches/ver-2.0 

If could please check this in CVF and then I can close this ticket
