    Manoj and others,

    We are currently revisiting some of our older Fortran code and trying
    to remove the obsolescent ASSIGN statements.

    We have found that some commercial Fortran 90 compilers will accept
    some of these obsolescent features, but as you saw, GNU Fortran 95
    doesn't. I'm not sure if they plan to or not, but to be safe, we'll
    continue to remove as many obsolescent features that we can.

    Cheers,

    --Mary
