I simply don't understand this. Sine F8x is a superset of F77, how
can F8x code be "more awkward to write" or the amount "greater than
the necessart 77 code" - they are both impossible. Perhaps you could
find an unsuited F8x construct, and write worse code using that construct -
but you could use the older, more suitable constructs, and have 
"less awkward" and smaller code.
