The example posted closed unit 5, thus releasing Unix stdin.
It then opened unit 5, thus getting the default file: fort.5
Since there was no data in fort.5, it then got EOF.
To redeclare unit 5 "unformatted", simply issue the 'open'
statement without the preceding 'close'. You don't have to
'rewind' unit 5 if it is attached to stdin since stdin can't
be positioned.
