 Try these from the g77 info page:

Run-time Library Errors
=======================
                                                                                
   The `libg2c' library currently has the following table to relate
error code numbers, returned in `IOSTAT=' variables, to messages.  This
information should, in future versions of this document, be expanded
upon to include detailed descriptions of each message.
                                                                                
   In line with good coding practices, any of the numbers in the list
below should _not_ be directly written into Fortran code you write.
Instead, make a separate `INCLUDE' file that defines `PARAMETER' names
for them, and use those in your code, so you can more easily change the
actual numbers in the future.
                                                                                
   The information below is culled from the definition of `F_err' in
`f/runtime/libI77/err.c' in the `g77' source tree.

G77 FORTRAN "READ" Statement

[Ben Howell]

I have been unable to find, in the online documentation, a description 
of the READ statement.
I specifically would like to know what values are returned with the 
"IOSTAT" option.

Thanks for your attention!
