Hi,

Many folks on this list can help you, but please post
the actual input to the compiler and the error message
you get from the compiler.

Folks tend to be better with Fortran than they are as psychics.  :-)

I'm a PhD student, too.  I'm happy to help you.
I just don't know what "doesn't work" means.

You might also try the newsgroup comp.lang.fortran
