declaring variables in the code

Does any of the new fortrans (post F77) allow you to declare
variables in the code body like C++ does ? We just implemented
the 'implicit none' rule in our 550,000 LOC program and the #1
complaint from the programmers is that they are continually moving
between the top and bottom of the subroutines. And for 2000+
line subroutines, this can be a big jump. We are still using Watcom
F77 but are transitioning to IVF if we get ever get our port finished.

Thanks,
Lynn
