Vincent, I can't reach you via private mail!
I'm sorry for sending this to the list.

MSVC? No, thanks. Do you have MSVC for something other than Windows or DOS?
Could you imagine Windows machine running flawlessly for few months? Running
a cluster of Windows machines flawlessly?
Let us stop the discussion at this point. I don't have MSVC and won't buy
or even steal one.
And the program is mixed FORTRAN and C code (trivial, if you have f2c).
It went already through many improvement iterations. This is not
the right place for discussion about it. There are problems in computational
quantum chemistry/physics, which cannot be done in an hour.

Not _faster_, but _reliable_. This option gives _bad_ code.
