Hehe.  As far as I'm concerned, FORTRAN 77 is dangerously harmful
modernity.  :-)

To Mitja:

  Change the type on the C side of the interface to intptr_t.
  Change the type on the FORTRAN side of the interface to c_ptr.

Then you'll have a program that is portable to 32-bit and 64-bit
systems.

Thanks,
Andrew.
