I assume run76 is a FORTRAN-76 compiler.

This was a pre-F76 version... F68? (I don't
go back *that* far... it was obsolete even
when I was using it then, 1980 or so. Just
like most people are still using ksh88 now.)

I think all or most compilers allowed this
once upon a time.

Actually, I think this was so long ago it was not 
considered a bug. Probably not even a feature. 
More of a why-would-you-do-that-anyway.
