No, that is not true - at least not with the standard's definition of 
the terms. The arrays here are *EXACTLY* what the standard calls 
assumed shape. I assume that what you were talking about in f77 is what 
is often called adjustable. Or maybe you are referring to assumed size 
(which is not the same thing as assumed shape). If you weren't thinking 
of one of those two things, then I just have no clue what else you had 
in mind, but it certainly could not have been what the standard calls 
assumed shape - that is very much an f90 feature.
