   different purposes: at least one uses kinds 1, 2, 3, 4 for the four most   
   common numbers of bytes where other compilers use 1, 2, 4, 8.   But if you   
   use integer(kind=int64) this is portable.   
      
   (Although unlikely) what happens when int64 = -1?   
   I suppose 'integer(-1)' is portable to the extent   
   that a compiler will error out.
