My apologies to the net for the previous two muck ups.  Can't explain it, but
hopefully it won't happen again.  (If two copies of this message are posted, 
then I'll know that there is something wrong system wise)

By the way, the 4.2bsd convention appears to be that named commons have an 
underscore appended to them, and may be so referenced from C.  This from the 
"A Portable Fortran 77 Compiler", Feldman and Weinberger, Bell Labs.  

There is no mention that I can find on how to reference the fields of the 
common block, that I can find.
