F77 standard

[Freddie Akeroyd]

I've found something else that works that it a bit easier than an
equivalence (it is also non-standard, but supported by g77 and DEC
compilers):

You pass the string using %REF(name) ... this passes the address of the
string bytes rather than the address of the string descriptor, and so
makes it behave like "C"
