That's what I recalled. How does it work with private/public, though? Is there a "friend" classification, or varying degrees of protection?

The same abstraction > arguments apply. Well, since we *don't* have function-like syntax for components, F2003 chose component-like syntax for type-bound procedures (methods). So you call a method: WRITE(*,*) object%method(argument) which would work if method were an array component, for example. This was as good a decision as could be made considering the choices already made in previous versions of Fortran. Best, Aleks
