Many compilers have a command line switch to enforce strict ANSI77 compliance.
Theoretically, users who compile with this switch have all illegal, disallowed,
etc. constructs flagged; since all compilers should not only accept all legal
F77 but should put the same interpretation on it, programs compiled with
strict ANSI77 compliance should be portable.

When the original program with the ambiguous illegal GOTO was compiled,
did the compilers have an ANSI77 switch and was it set?  I would like to
see the results with this switch set; if strict ANSI77 interpretation is
enforced, then all compilers should have the same result.
