I hate it when the competition's right. :-)  Keith's correct, the
non-ANSI detection was left off the NAMELIST implementation by accident.

On the original run-time problem, it will go away if you remove the
white space around the '=' (i.e., "C=360.0," instead of "C = 360.0,").  As
often happens, the fix for another problem caused this one - we forgot to
allow whitespace (tabs, spaces) after the variable name that terminates the
proceding array list.

I suspect the compiler team will correct both of these problems for the
next release, now that they have been pointed out.  By the way, both '$' and
'&' delimiters for namelist data should be accepted (they are on this example).
If you can find an example where one will work and not the other, please e-mail
me.
