We recently installed fortran 3.2 on our IRIS workstations.
MUCH better than 3.1 :-)

Now using the "-w" option produces code that executes. Omitting
"-w" on our software produces a warning about jumping into an IF block,
(in code not called). But, the executable won't do I/O. It complains
about i/o errors. Hmmm... cute.

f77 -w -vms file.f -o file.out

ok, at least it works, and the -On option doesn't core dump.
But now "-static" causes an immediate "Killed" to appear when the
.out file is run. Oh, Boy! what a descriptive error message!!!!
Sigh, even 3.1 allowed this to work on the same code.

Better test your code lots before going into production with 3.2 8-) !!
