I knew that, but didn't recommend it because (1) we don't have Suns here,
so I don't care -- it definitely won't work on a DECstation -- and (2) it
is not clear that it will work in all cases on a Sun -- all we know is
that some simple test cases seem to work.  Does all Fortran I/O work
correctly with no initialization on Suns?
