And that part is not Fortran77,
e.g. Solaris' f77 (which is said to have good properties)
cannot compile it.
1) End-line-comments starting with "!" work,
but not when the "!" comes too early in an otherwise empty line.
Note however that endline "!" may not work at all on other
f77's,
since afaik these are newer than Fortran77.
2) `<=' instead of `.le.' are not liked at all
[I'll send diffs to Jim privately]

Jim> 3. elliptic now provides recursive predicted values for many models.

changes.txt).
Thank you !
