I don't have an F77 compiler; I use G95, Lahey LF95, and
Silverfrost under Windows and a plethora of comoilers under
Linux. I think my first post indicated that LF95 (no debugging
options) and Intel ifort compile the code witih no changes.
It runs the sample input and generates output that matches
the sampe output file. But I don't like working with such
messy code without first being able to use Lahey LF95
with debug options:
-chk(a,e,s,u,x) -chkglobal -g -pca -stchk -trace -nzero -o0 -trap
diou

Thanks to all.

Openwatcom have a free F77 compiler for windows. According to my oldish
language reference (unfortunately the current one is not on their
website) it accepts, as an extension, both $ and _ in variable names.
