Strings

When mapping the SIDL string type into FORTRAN 77, some capability was sacrificed to make it possible to use normal looking FORTRAN 77 string handling. One difference is that all FORTRAN 77 strings have a limited fixed size. Specifically, out string parameters are automatically limited to 512 characters each.

NOTE$:$ Modification of the value of SIDL_F77_STR_MINSIZE in runtime/sidl/babel_config.h prior to configuring Babel can be used to change the string size limitation.
