Thanks to some very fine efforts by Chris Cordrey at DEC we were able to
try a prerelease of the RISC 2.0 fortran compiler and we we able to fix
our earlier problems (so we could find some new ones ?) - what do you think?
I posted these here as I wasn't sure the nice DEC guys wanted me permanantly
attached to their mailbox and quite a few people from this group seem to
be test sites for this software...(Which I guess we have informally become)

This works fine under 3.1 f77 (vax)
From: timd (Tim Davis)
would you like to try another test program?
program r
print *,len('length of 12')
call sub('length of 12')
stop
end
subroutine sub (achar)
character*(*) achar
print *,achar
print *,len(achar)
return
end
the len function, which returns the length of a character string, doesn't
seem to be working on the variable achar in the subroutine.
thanks -- t.

Trying to compile anything like
SUBROUTINE CAPANA
CHARACTER*(*) CRNAME
PARAMETER( CRNAME = 'STRING' )
RETURN
END
with
f77 -g -c capana.f
results in
"Fatal error in: /usr/lib/cmplrs/f77/fcom Segmentation fault - core dumped"
It compiles without the "-g", but I haven't done anything yet to verify
that the code created is ok. We have a lot of subroutines with statements
just like that...
String concatenation also still has some problems, though not as many as
it used to.
