    SETFIL(III)                  10/29/73                 SETFIL(III)

    NAME
         setfil - specify Fortran file name

    SYNOPSIS
         call setfil ( unit, hollerith-string )

    DESCRIPTION
         Setfil  provides a primitive way to associate an integer I/O
         unit number with a file named by the hollerith-string.   The
         end  of  the  file name is indicated by a blank.  Subsequent
         I/O on this unit number will refer to the file whose name is
         specified by the string.

         Setfil should be called only before any I/O has been done on
         the unit, or just after doing a rewind or  endfile.   It  is
         ineffective for unit numbers 5 and 6.

    SEE ALSO
         fc(I)

    BUGS
         The exclusion of units 5 and 6 is unwarranted.
