SUMMARY
=======

You can use CodeView to display a single element of a Fortran array using
?arrayname(x,x,x), where "arrayname" consists of the first six characters of the
array name and "(x,x,x)" must be a valid cell in the array.

There is no way to display more than one cell of the array using this command. To
display many cells, you must do a memory dump of the addresses where the array
is stored or use the memory window in CodeView versions 3.0 and later.

MORE INFORMATION
================

FORTRAN stores array elements in column-major order. Use the following formula
to determine the address where any cell (i,j,k) is stored, where Max_Row is the
maximum i possible and Max_Col is the maximum j possible:

      MemAddr = start_addr+(size of elements)*
                       (Max_Row((k-1)(Max_Col)+(j-1))+(i-1))

"Size of elements" is the number of bytes of each element in the array.

CodeView 4.0, 4.01, 4.05, and 4.1 do not have a FORTRAN expression evaluator and
incorrectly display the array in the locals window.
