     Attributes specify additional information about a variable,
     variable type, subprogram, or subprogram formal argument.
     Attributes allow a program, for example, to use the calling
     conventions of Microsoft C or Pascal, or pass arguments by value
     or by reference. Attributes can be used in subroutine and function
     definitions, in type declarations, and with the INTERFACE and
     ENTRY statements
 
     Microsoft FORTRAN provides these attributes:
 
          ALLOCATABLE     FAR           PASCAL
          ALIAS           HUGE          REFERENCE
          C               LOADDS        VALUE
          EXTERN          NEAR          VARYING
 
     Select one for more information.
