I had trouble passing a string variable though
subroutine arguments. It never works on MSFORT

eg.

c --- main prog
        character *8 fnm


        call opnfil('ross.fnm')

---------
       subroutine opnfil(fnm)
       character *8 fnm

       open (--------------
           do ---------
              read (-----------
              open ( ----------

This does work on our main frame compiler.

Does anyone know whether fort 77 standard allows this  ?
