The .PN long subroutine is useful when constants are used in calls to library routines and the code is to be compiled with ``-i2''. The .PN short subroutine is useful in similar context when an otherwise long object must be passed as a short integer. .SH Files .ie \nM /usr/ucb/lib/libF77.a .el /usr/lib/libF77.a
