Subject: Re:  f2c format i/o troubles

The present version of f2c allows Hex Constants like z'ff' in data
statements as well Z format in Format statements.

Look at this piece of f2c fortran:
        program hex
        data i/z'ffff'/
        i=i-1
        write(*,'(Z8)')i
        end

Compiled and linked using f2c and gcc form 1.08 works fine for me.
