Syntax error <> vs .NE.

Syntax error <> vs .NE.

I just upgraded from DVF 6.1 to 6.5. I installed visual studio SP4 prior to installing DVF 6.5. For some reason the compiler thinks that all occurences of <> are invalid syntax and the only way for the compile to work is to change these to .NE.

Why should this be necessary?

Thanks,

Because they ARE invalid syntax. The correct operator in Fortran is /= (or .NE.) We fixed a bug where <> was accepted - why it was in there in the first place, we don't know!
