I use two different fortran90 compiler on a simple input file
and get executables which differ in size by almost 3 orders of
magnitude, see below. Is this something to do with the use
of shared libraries?

% gfortran42 tmp.f90
% ls -al a.out
-rwxr-xr-x  1 <xxx>  <zzz>    9179  5 Jun 14:15 a.out
% g95 tmp.f90
% ls -al a.out
-rwxr-xr-x  1 <xxx>  <zzz>  546413  5 Jun 14:15 a.out
%

The program results seem to be identical.

many thanks
anton
