[fa.info-vax] FORTRAN problems

Here's a couple of questions for anyone out there who's a real FORTRAN stud...

First of all, does anyone have a simple program that'll take a monolithic
FORTRAN program and break it up such that individual subroutines are in
separate VAX files.  I seem to remember something like this on a DECUS tape
a while back, but don't remember which one (or even for certain whether
that's what the program did...).  I'll whip up a TECO macro if I have to,
but want to avoid it if possible.

Next, a user is having some trouble with NAMELIST input.  He is trying to
input a hollerith, and wants to say something like "56Hblah blah blah blah...".
He says this works on an IBM system (where it should probably stay!) but
doesn't work on the VAX.  I'm not even certain what NAMELIST input is, but
can anyone tell me whether this is supposed to work on the VAX or not?
Can he only use character variables in NAMELIST input?

This is with the V4.1 FORTRAN compiler (yes, I know the optimizer is full
of bugs, but I'm stuck with it now, aren't I...   :-)

Thanks for anyone's help on this...

Kevin:

I am using FORTRAN in my project.
There is no problem for me to write "56hblah blah.." in my FORTRAN program.
My project is on UNIX/VAX now.
