workaround for legacy code using fortran integer pointers

[Hans Horn]

Group,

I'm porting some legacy fortran that uses excessively fortran integer
pointers.
g77 does'nt understand this non-f77 standard feature.
the info I was able to dig up  (g77 doc) when looking for a workaround is
rather sparse .
It suggests to use INTEGER(KIND=7) declarations without going into any more
detail.

Does anybody out there have any working example/code snippet to illustrate
how this is done?

thx INF
H.
