Re: fortran program fails -- help...

Thanks to several people who pointed at SAVE and -fno-automatic; that
fixed things.

Silly of me to expect a program written in classical mainframe Fortran
to survive the ANSI standards process and run unchanged with a new
compiler. 

Still, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better for compilers to do
what's right for existing programs by default, and do ANSI compliance
only if asked for.  At least that would make sense where there is a
vast body of older code.  My guess is that this is the case for
Fortran; it may also apply to C++...
