We tried it with DEC Fortran (RISC f77 V3.0) and it worked fine.  

BTW: flush is almost a NOP for DEC Fortran since we don't do buffered
output.

FYI: The FORTRAN for RISC (RISC f77 V2.0) flush called fflush(3s), DF
calls fsynch(2) and flushes the read ahead buffer.  If/when we do
buffered writes we'll have to flush that too.

If you're using something before V3 it isn't called DEC Fortran but the
command is still f77.  As far as we can tell flush(3f) works with DEC
Fortran.  Of course, you can't mix in I/O units from objects compiled
by pre-V3 f77.
