I hear that all the times from our students: ``Hey, this compiler is broken.
this program worked on so-and-so computer''. Only that it runs on any
other machine you tested does say nothing about its conformance to F77.
Why don't you simply show an example format statement so that if f2c
is broken we can fix it?
