Character-variable Length
-------------------------

   Currently, `g77' uses the default `INTEGER' type for the lengths of
`CHARACTER' variables and array elements.

   This means that, for example, a system with a 64-bit address space
and a 32-bit default `INTEGER' type does not, under `g77', support a
`CHARACTER*N' declaration where N is greater than 2147483647.
