[net.lang.f77] Rotten error message

trh@ukc.ac.uk (T.R.Hopkins) (02/12/86)

We have made a lot of changes to our f77 compiler over the last year
or so. Would somebody like to run the small program below and let
me know if they get a 
`compiler error illegal tag 0'
error message? Or have we screwed up an edit somewhere. 


The program is actually illegal - I think a good compiler should
pick up the illegal redefinition of MAXLEN as a constant.

Thanks,
