Got a question about FORTRAN-4.  I've never used it myself but
I had a user come in today trying to compile a F-4 program on our
F77 compiler.  It crashed at two types of statements whose syntax
I've never seen:

1)  WRITE(6'60)FOO,BAR
   ========^
 Why is there an ' there instead of a comma??  

2) CALL MOVE(FOO,BAR,&1270)
   ==================^
  What does the ampersand do??

These are not syntax errors, they occur all through the program.
I appreciate any ideas or guesses.  Please e-mail them as I do not
regularly read this group.

Thanks in advance,
