>>>some Fortran programmers equivalence different typed arrays

In Fortranish, "equivalence" is verb: to equivalence A and B means to write
an EQUIVALENCE statement to control their relative starting addresses as in
          DIMENSION A(100),B(101)
          EQUIVALENCE (A(1),B(2))

p.s.  who says Fortran-66 doesn't support zero-based arrays?
