Hi Dale,

My "conceptual" problem is - does the last write truncate the file?  I remember 
reading about this somewhere, but it is vague in my mind.  Thats why when I 
started looking at this I just had to stop and ask.  I could see the difference 
in behavior between gfortran and g77. It puzzled me.
