This is really dumb.....

     I have been giving the line
	  
	  cout = 'c' // inputn

     to a fortran compiler, and getting three error messages.

     The compiler is Microsoft's F77 compiler for 
     IBM PC

     The error messages have been numeric expected and
     invalid expression (twice)

     Both cout and inputn are defined as character*15,
     although I tried making cout character*20.

     It seems to read inputn well enough, as I have been
     able to get around the problem using the format statements

     I have no clue,  Does anyone else

     HELP!!!!
