   the compiler error messages will go away if you redefine the INTEGERs in
the COMMON block from INTEGER*2 to INTEGER*4, or re-arrange the order of the
members of the COMMON block so that each REAL follows an even number of
INTEGER*2s (either by actually re-arranging the members, or inserting dummy
INTEGER*2s for alignment padding).
   f77 is acting rather peculiar here?  i would expect it to provide any
alignment padding necessary (as C does for structs) with at most a warning.
