I have been forced to learn Fortran 77 for a course I am taking.
I've been writting my f77 programs under VMS (v4.1) and am getting real 
tired of it, so I decided to give f77 under (4.2bsd) unix a try.
What I ran into was an error about an unknown statement type.  It turned 
out to be a do while statement of the form:

	DOWHILE(true)
		something borring
	ENDDO

My question is: doesn't Unix (ANSI) f77 support a (do) while statement?
What is it's syntax?
