  cDEC$ STRICT
  cDEC$ NOSTRICT

  The STRICT directive disables language features not found in the
  language standard specified on the command line (Fortran 95 or
  Fortran 90).  The NOSTRICT directive (the default) enables these
  language features.

  The "c" in cDEC$ is one of the following:  a C (or c), !, or *.

  If STRICT is specified and no language standard is specified on the
  command line, the default is to disable features not found in
  Fortran 90.

  The STRICT and NOSTRICT directives can appear only appear at the
  top of a program unit.  A program unit is a main program, an
  external subroutine or function, a module or a block data program
  unit.  The directives cannot appear between program units, or at
  the beginning of internal subprograms.  They do not affect any
  modules invoked with the USE statement in the program unit that
  contains them.

  For compatibility, !MS$STRICT and !MS$NOSTRICT can be used in place
  of cDEC$ STRICT and cDEC$ NOSTRICT.

  Examples:

  Consider the following:

  ! NOSTRICT by default
  TYPE stuff
     INTEGER(4) k
     INTEGER(4) m
     CHARACTER(4) name
  END TYPE stuff
  TYPE (stuff) examp
  DOUBLE COMPLEX cd    ! non-standard data type, no error
  cd =(3.0D0, 4.0D0)
  examp.k = 4          ! non-standard component designation,
                       !   no error
  END

  SUBROUTINE STRICTDEMO( )
     !DEC$ STRICT
      TYPE stuff
        INTEGER(4) k
        INTEGER(4) m
        CHARACTER(4) name
     END TYPE stuff
     TYPE (stuff) samp
     DOUBLE COMPLEX cd      ! ERROR
     cd =(3.0D0, 4.0D0)
     samp.k = 4             ! ERROR
  END SUBROUTINE
