the output from f77_diagram and ftnchek.
Had a play with ftnchek
It has a bug with no-prune set when making a tree, seems to get lost
in the APT recursion
and when you look at the APT recursion one feels ill.
It created a 5gb output file!
Interesting. I hadn't pushed the tool that direction and so hadn't run
into that particular bug. It reminds me of...oh, well, never mind. It
was a long time ago and I've buried the mistake.
I have created a ASECT0.FOR to replace the assembler initialization and first

Looking good, Dave.
Last week, as I looked through my own ftnchek outputs and referred back
to the sources, I began to wonder just who wrote this APT360 code. I'm
supposing it's a combination of the work of IBM coders and some baseline
APT4 code set from the CAM-I. In turn, the CAM-i code set was probably a
conglomeration of original and edited routines from CAM-I members and
contractors that evolved through various releases. The end result is
truly ugly; not even close to the coding standards of major physics
projects in the same time period that I crossed paths with. It's only
redeeming feature is that it worked, mostly. I tip my hat to Brent for
managing to transliterate it to C and get it to work again.
I cannot understand why they do part of the html creation in C
then use a shell script to add the html header and footer.
makes shoehorning in other stuff a little harder
I confess I've done this kind of thing myself when I thought it was
expedient but I don't usually impose the result on others.
I turned to ftnchek because of its "semantic" checking capability,
hoping in particular to get a handle on the (in)consistency of APT360's
common block usage across its gazillion modules, and only discovered the
html option when later I looked at the full list of options.
