Few things about the MS-Fortran experiments:

1) I found that the OBJ file produced for the DPARA.FOR is larger than
   64K (~70k). This may cause failure of the executable. I split
   DPARA.FOR into 3 files. There are many subroutines so it is easy
   to split.

2) I found that compiling with optimization (the default)  causes 
    failures with DPARA. When  I added the -Od switch the problems
    went away.
