Long Lines
----------

   Source lines longer than the applicable length are truncated to that
length.  Currently, `g77' does not warn if the truncated characters are
not spaces, to accommodate existing code written for systems that
treated truncated text as commentary (especially in columns 73 through
80).

   Note: Options Controlling Fortran Dialect,
for information on the `-ffixed-line-length-N' option, which can be
used to set the line length applicable to fixed-form source files.
