Re: workaround for legacy code using fortran integer pointers

yup. That's it.
Not quite Cray pointers, but something related (supposedly only a few
compiler vendor have added this extension, such as IBM, Sun, ...).
It goes like this : POINTER(ip, iarray(*))

In the g77 docs it says that adding this feature is pretty high on the
priority list.

Ugh :-( That reminds me that I should remove that remark - this was true, '99ish. g77 is in maintenance mode nowadays (which means that I'll fix bugs - and luckily I get some help with that).

GNU Fortran 95 (see web page URL below) is where the action is - although "producing a conformant Fortran 95 compiler" is higher on the list than "supporting popular extensions to Fortran 77".

But I know they're thinking about Cray pointers ...
