Amen, brother. We are writing data analysis code which is
currently ~5000 lines with LOTS os subroutines. There are
some routines that contain 10 lines or more of common blocks!
Global variables would greatly reduce at least this aspect of
the code.

Also, it would be nice if one could call subroutines from
other directories. For example, if a branch of the program
deals with data retreival (off the 8mm tape), I would like
to place all of the routines dealing with this in a sub-directory
named ./Get_Data. This would allow me to clean up the one
directory holding everything now without fiddling with the
search paths.

Having said this, we are not about to switch over to Solaris 2.1
until PV-Wave runs on it.. we would be lost without PV-Wave!
