All;

Ok, ok. Uncle.  Since I don't have a copy of the "standard" I
will have to take your word that "equivalencing a character
variable to a non-character variable" is a violation of the
standard.    Now tell me why.

As Calivn Vu has shown, the problem is not related to the method
used to initialize the variable. In this instance the data were 
interpreted rather than transfered.

Double apologies to Pierre and Bill

Matt
