Old-style PARAMETER Statements
------------------------------

   `g77' doesn't accept `PARAMETER I=1'.  Supporting this obsolete form
of the `PARAMETER' statement would not be particularly hard, as most of
the parsing code is already in place and working.

   Until time/money is spent implementing it, you might as well fix
your code to use the standard form, `PARAMETER (I=1)' (possibly needing
`INTEGER I' preceding the `PARAMETER' statement as well, otherwise, in
the obsolete form of `PARAMETER', the type of the variable is set from
the type of the constant being assigned to it).
