Is there a path flow analysis tool available for F77? If you aren't familiar,
PFA is a testing technique of counting how many times each path is taken
in a program to ensure that the tests exercise as many paths as possible.

The tools I am familiar with implement this on one of two ways, either
as a compile option, or as a preprocessor that creates a new source file
with added lines that increment a counter every time they're hit. Either
way there are accompanying post-run tools to process the counters and 
correlate with the source. My compiler, on the HP1000, does not provide this
capability.

I'm new to c.l.f and the language, so I will not have read any previous
discussions on this topic.

If you email I'll summarize to the group.

Thanks, Gary
