Hi, I am trying to compile some Legacy Fortran Code I have been given,
I believe it is Fortran 77. I am new to Fortran and have searched all
I can to resolve this issue, but with no luck!
I am getting compiler errors say I am passing the incorrect number of
arguments

Declaration example:

SUBROUTINE TEST (PARA1, PARA2, PARA3, PARA4, *)

I believe the problem is related to the last argument, as you can see
it contains a '*', I can only assume that this is some sort of
optional parameter, but I cant get the code to compile. I am using
FTN95 Fortran 95 for Windows from SilverFrost.
The number of calls to the routine do vary and sometimes, use '*9999'
as a passing value for the last argument, strange!

Any help would be appreciated
