Help....  I am using Windows 3.0 with SDK 3.0, MS Fortran 5.0, and
MS C 6.0 to transport a Fortran program into Windows environment.
The problem I have now is how to map the file handler from OpenFile
(or just open from C) to Fortran file unit so I can do I/O from 
Fortran.  I tried to use OPEN and WRITE inside Fortran, it seemed
to work (although it gave me 'Unrecoverable error' when the program
exited), but I could not READ anything inside Fortran!  I noticed that
whenever I used OPEN within Fortran, it used a file handler which
is *not* the file unit I specified in Fortran.  The Fortran program I
am using is too big to translate into C or change all the WRITE, READ, 
and FORMAT into corresponding C or Windows routines.  One of our 
Mac programmer could easily use MacFortran to open a file and do I/O,
I wonder if there is a similar mechanism available in Windows SDK?
