Same functionality - some compilers are moving to this notation (for
eg: intel compilers version 8)

Googling a bit - gives: (ipxfargc standard)

>>>
POSIX: Several vendors have implemented the IEEE POSIX 1003.9 binding
to FORTRAN 77.Function IPXFARGC obtains the number of command
arguments. Subroutine PXFGETARG (N, ARG, ARGLEN, IERROR) gets the list
of command line arguments. PXFGETARG() places the Nthcommand-line
argument in the character string ARG. The significant length of ARG is
returned in ARGLEN. The standard also goes on to define some error
conditions (argument-too-long andN-out-of-range), as well as the
numbering of arguments (0 is the command/verb, 1 is the first
argument, etc). Subroutines PXFGETENV and PXFSETENV respectively get
and set environment variables.Subroutine PXFCLEARENV clears all
environment variables.
