   What do you use the equivalences for?  Saving memory? Then this   
   should not be a large issue on modern machines.   
      
   If you are using them for tricks with type conversion, then you   
   are on thin ice already, and have been since Fortran 66.   
      
   And if you have a few big arrays, then changing those to ALLOCATABLE   
   and allocating them at runtime might well be straightforward.
