I second the "thanks a million", and also don't think g77  belongs in 
the option name.

I have been using a very fast sort program for large files written in  
C++ (not by me) , and compiled with gcc-3.3.2 (c++) which produces a 
binary file that is read using Fortran code compiled with g77, and have 
not experienced any problems.  I was testing this very large simulation 
using gcc-4.0 (c++) and g95  when I ran into the problem -- the binary 
file created
with gcc-4.0 (c++)  could not be read by g95 compiled code --  
incompatible record markers
 (32 bit vice 64 bit).
