The TREK7 sources compile perfectly with:

*fortran /nof77 treka.for*

The VMS HELP says:












*$ help fortran /nof77  FORTRAN    /F77 (D)    /NOF77     Controls whether
FORTRAN-77 interpretation  rules  are  used  for     those  statements
 that  have a meaning that is incompatible with     FORTRAN IV-PLUS.
 The default is /F77.  If you specify /NOF77, the compiler selects
 FORTRAN IV-PLUS interpretations in cases of incompatibility.*

Looks like it's really FORTRAN IV, but maybe with some VMS specifics and
extensions ...
