Summary: 


Sure that is the rule, but if it is a rule, then let the compiler actually
come out and tell me I am breaking the rules. The latest release (1.4) does
tell me I am breaking the rules, version 1.3 does not. DEC fortran 77 on
tops 10 does not tell me anything, but it does it right!

I can usually live with restrictions but this struck me as not too logical a
restriction. PL/1 does it fine, some fortrans do it fine, why not the others..
You can sit by and live by the restrictions if you want, But I am going to
bitch and complain till a REASONABLE solution is found. This may not be worth
too much complaining but other little things like this in that past have
been changed because someone asked for it.
