The FORTRAN I/O is replaced by C I/O to avoid the problem presented by
machine dependent FORTRAN control words (C just regards a file as a stream of
bytes). This enables Zebra to write fixed length records on both tape and
disk without the addition of any further control data. This means that the
/IO/ variables LUNEVI and LUNEVO are not FORTRAN unit numbers and MUST
NOT be used with FORTRAN I/O statements such as OPEN, CLOSE, READ, WRITE etc.
A warning is included in io.inc.
