    Hi,

    My isv has an application that is 98% FORTRAN. The rest is in C,
    including the main program.

    They'd like to dynamically allocate memory on the NT system for their
    "big" FORTRAN common block. This is what they have:
                                     
    subroutine foo(size)
    common /bar/ a(1)
    integer size,a
    return
    end

    subroutine realone(...)
    common /bar/ a(1000000)
    real*8 a
    return
    end

    In UNIX, I have a .s file that sets the address of bar at a specific
    address and I do mmap(&bar, 200000, ...) The .s file looks like:

            .globl bar_
    bar_ = 0x160000000

    What's the equivalent of the above .s file and mmap call in NT?

    Appreciate your help in advance.

    Amin
