James, it works. Thank you.

I have some questions about assumed-size vs assumed-shape arrays, but
I should probably ask them in a separate thread.

Thanks.

I got the wrong end of the stick. We have a lot of non-native English
speakers here who use terms like "wrapper" incorrectly. I assumed you
meant "interface" rather than Fortran wrapper.

In Fortran 77 an integer is passed along with a string to give its
length. So to call a C string functions it's

void cfunc_(char *str, int N)

note it's "int N", not "int * N"

The easiest way to return a string is simply to write to the buffer
you used to pass the input.

(A question for middlebies: should the C function use size_t
internally? What are the pros and cons of doign so?).
