Well, I just installed OpenCoarray and downloaded a pi/4
monte carlo code that Thomas wrote using REAL.  I changed
everything to use REAL(10).  Compiled and executed without
a problem.  I also tested REAL(16), which worked although
it's painfully slow due to software floating point.  So,
I guess I don't understand what you're asking?
