ANSI X3.9-1978

12.2.5.2 Internal File Restrictions
	 --------------------------

An internal file has the following restrictions:

    (1) Reading and writing records is accomplished only
	by sequential access formatted input/output
	statements (12.8.1) that do not specify list-
	directed formatting.

--------

The Apollo compiler is right.  The others are non-compliant,
but you might check for some invocation switch or option that
would request compliance.
