Hi Alan,

it must have been a typo indeed - it is at the very least much cleaner to
use unique names. What is more, I am not even sure that the effect you
describe on the code with the typo is indeed correct (I have not used
COMMON blocks in years and there are a lot of obscure areas there ...)

Well, to cut a long story short: we will use unique names - period.

Regards,

Arjen
