	Whats the worst fortran compiler in the whole wide world?

	ANSWER: THE DEC F77 ULTRIX RISC COMPILER

	In 20 years of scientific computing i have experienced some 
bad ones (IBM H extended springs to mind) but never never anything this bad.

Does anybody know if later versions (we seem to be stuck with 1.0) solve
any of the many problems.
