	I am curious as to whether the dialect
	of Fortran that I use at work is a standard
	one or not...specifically, it allows you
	to do string slicing (ie, if STR is declared;

		  Character*50 STR

Then you can get a substring from it by
using the expression <variable>(<first>:<last>) (for example,
STR(1:20) would be a substring of the first 20 
characters....

Is this standard?

			Thanks!
