I didn't make any assumptions.  This tests an extension to fortran that was
added by AT&T (this is from a second hand source, so I may have it wrong). 

The reason for the test is my client has a big simulation software package 
that he created on a masscomp system that makes use of this little
feature.  We are looking for another compiler that has the same "feature" so
we can upgrade his system.

Results so far:

	Sun 		Failed
	Cray		Failed
	Ultrix 4.0	Failed
	MIPS RC6280	Failed

Looks like someone is going to have to do alot of recoding.  (Let this
be an example of why you shouldn't use compiler-specific extensions)
