I am using the Mips Microsystems f77 fortran compiler running on a
MIPS M1000 computer running UMIPS-BSD UNIX. I have run into difficulty
installing a finite element package due to a compiler quirk that 
allows one have a maximum of 17 files at any one time. Documentation
for the fortran is unfortunately quite sparse and incomplete. Is it
possible to open more files by setting up some unmentioned flag
or reconfiguring the fortran compiler? This same package works
fine on our SUN 3/180's which appear to allow us to open 24 files
at any one time. To re-write the package would be a slight major
inconvenience considering the source code is slighlty over 3 Mbytes
in size. Any help/pointers would be appreciated.

By the way, the run-time error message given is:

	open: illegal unit number

The program compiles with no errors using the 2nd level of Optimization.

Thank you,
