Fortran question: arguments in "main" declaration

[Jacob Park]

I recently received a fortrn source file which has arguments in "main" declaration. i.e. program main (arg1, arg2, arg3,etc) I didn't know if this was possible with fortran (pecularity of HP fortran?). When I tried to compile the source file with out any options on my machine, "error" message was given. What the option,if any, to make this declaration of argument in "main" work?

Fortran 77 or 90 ?
What was the error message ?
Simple example of program, not sure from your description what is being done.

Take a look at URL:
