Recursion

Calling sub-programs recursively is prohibited by the F77 standard, but
allowed by the F90 standard.

I have tested Salford FTN77, and it will not compile a FUNCTION that
invokes itself directly, but indirect recursion works.

So can someone tell me which F77 compilers de facto allow indirect
recursion ?
