Can I dynamically allocate a 2-byte integer array of size n?
• Yes. Size is only limited by virtual memory. ALLOCATE a string of length 2*n. (Partial) conversion to 8-byte floating point (as used by HicEst for all numerics) is via READ and WRITE with the binary format “ib2”. • Or have the array as a file on disk. If the array has e.g. 23 columns: • OPEN(File=arrayname,binary,Format=”23ib2″) and access with arrayname(row,column) for read and write.
