FORTRAN scoping rules are different from C. It doesn't matter whether
you put all the suprograms in one file or put them all in separate
files, except that it will compile faster if you put them all together!

With C you can use files containing groups of functions to control the
scope of variables. With FORTRAN you can't. At least not on any
'FORTRAN' that I've used 8^). So what does this have to do with C?
