What do you mean please ?

This is what IVF does ?
1. you compile abc.f in IVF
2. IVF automagically creates an abc__genmod.f90 file in your release 
subdirectory with the subroutine / function module interface in it

So now IVF will automatically look at everyone that call abc and will 
validate the arguments number and type.

Thanks,
Lynn
