 I am writting a Fortran program now. I used to be a C programmer.
 In C, one can retrieve information from command line arguments, i.e.

 In program:

 main(argc, argv)
 int argc;
 char **argv;
 {
 ...
 }
 
 Then, argv[0] will be the command name itself, argv[1] will be the first
 argument to the command, etc.

 Is this also possible in Fortran?
 
 Thanks.
