However, one should be aware that this notation for octal is
not part of the language standard.   It may work on VMS fortran
77, and perhaps others.   (All I've seen on VMS is: "23+"5634).

Still, this is a minor point, and one could easily transform
the output of the translator (e.g., in this case, by replacing
the octal notation with decimal).
