[net.unix-wizards] no octal format in f77

 >  There is no "O" format in FORTRAN 77.

True, but there is a kludge.  Use the "R" format specifier to
convert the radix to octal and then read using the "I" format.

I wouldn't necessarily call the nR dodge a kludge, since it is
a bit more general than O and Z formats.
