Does the fortran 77 standard disallow comments interspersed with
continuation lines?  For example

	integer   	i,j,
c this comment splits the statement it appears inside of
     1                  k,l,m,n


The Ultrix(tm) f77 compiler objects to the improperly-terminated first
line, and the illegal continuation character on the second line.
Is this a bug or a feature?

(No, it's not my own code, thank you.)

E-mail responses are fine.  Thanks in advance.
