i much prefer selecting the kind of record marker at link time;

               gfortran user_program.f -frecm=g77 -o user_program

the compiler driver would select the correct version of
"record_marker_??" to link in.


of course, an idea loses to working code any day of the week :)

p.s.  you have implemented almost everything needed for my idea...maybe
i should stop complaining and start working....
