There is no true dynamic memory allocation possible with standard
FORTRAN. As another follow-up poster has shown, implementation of
stacks, linked lists (as well as queues, etc.) is nothing more than
an exercise in Data Structures. What some do (if both a C AND a FORTRAN
compiler is available) is use C subroutines to perform the dynamic
allocation.
