This summarizes problems with the GNX Fortran 77 compiler which are known
to the Daphne development group.  
    
1.  $NF77 crash when generating debug information for arrays dimensioned (*)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
            subroutine s (array)
            integer*4 array (*)
	    call t (array)
            return 
            end 
    
2. $NF77 incorrect code for equivalenced local variables
   -----------------------------------------------------

	subroutine s
	integer*4 array (100)
	equivalence (arrray,a1)
	call t
	return
	end

   If you must use equivalenced variables then place the variables
   in a common block

3. $NF77 incorrect code for MIN and MAX when args of different types
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
	subroutine s
	integer*2	i2,j2
	integer*4	i4
	j2=min(i2,i4)
	call t (j2)
	return
	end

4. $NF77 will crash with "bus error" when using the /DEBUG option sometimes
