Try the following fortran intrinsics calls:

Function iargc() is integer type and returns the number of parameters 
on the command line.

igetarg(n, str, slen) ---called as function or subroutine
	where:
		n - integer specifying which command line arg to get
	      str - character variable that will contain the arg requested
	     slen - integer specifying max length of str(for padding).

  igetarg() returns the number of significant characters in str, otherwise -1.
  (when n=0, igetarg returns the program name)

This is a little sketchy but I hope it helps.
