Silly question: I always thought gnu compilers are more forgiveable.
As already written my first turn was under a g77 compiler on my
Macintosh.

Sorry typo: posted the output of the extended program written in 1984.
However, the output related to my original program by means of a F90
compiler on the Sun. F90 accepts it:

==
igam02ws% f90 ./preprces.f -c

IF (R(J) .EQ. 0.D0) GO TO 40
^
"./preprces.f", Line = 585, Column = 36: WARNING: Transfer of control
into the DO loop starting at line 587 is not safe.

5 (QSAVE(I,J,3,L3) .GT. Q1EST))) GO TO
160

^
"./preprces.f", Line = 1189, Column = 69: WARNING: Transfer of control
into the DO loop starting at line 1190 is not safe.
