g77 i.ne.'ff'x bombs...

[Steve Adler]

The following code does not compile. It complains that 'ff'x is
not an arithmetic entity which I believe it should be... Steve.

      program g77test1

      implicit none

      integer i,j

      i = 1
      j = 'ff'x
      print *,j,' = ','ff'x
      if (i .ne. j) then
         print *,'ok got here'
      endif
      if (i .ne. 'ff'x) then
         print *,'ok got further'
      endif

      end
