These should all be -E- IMHO. If you want to write FORTRAN IV code, then
use a FORTRAN IV compiler, not a Fortran 95 compiler.

This is no different from people now using ANSI function definitions in C,
instead of those (horrible) K&R function definitions.

Another example is moving from VAX C to DEC C standards. You can't compile
half of a source file using /STANDARD=VAXC, and the other half of the same
file using a modern standard.
