Mike, you are wrong about Fortran and conformant arrays, Fortran does
NOT have this feature, at least not in anything like the form of ISO
Pascal. Arrays in Fortran are passed by address only, and bounds information
is not passed (note I am talking up through 77 here, who knows what they
have wrought in 90 -- well probbaly some reader of this group does :-)
