[comp.lang.fortran] Common region

willis@xroads.UUCP (Raymond Willis) (03/03/90)

I used to use Fortran IV on a DEC computer and with it you could establish a
common region so that all the ordinary routines that most fortran programs
had could use this common region and did not have to be included in the
individual programs.  The result was programs only one fourth the size they
would otherwise be.  
I am now using LPI fortran version 3 from SCO.  I see no indication that it
is possible to make such a common region.  Is there anyone who knows if this
can be done?
