Name conventions

All Fortran symbols defined in the ALPHA package start with Q, K, C, or X:

Q

subroutines; real functions, variables, or arrays

K

integer functions, variables, or arrays

X

logical functions, variables, or arrays

C

character functions, variables, or arrays (always in combination with Q as 2nd character).

To avoid conflicts with the hundreds of variables defined in the ALPHA package, it would be safest if your own Fortran names for subroutines, variables, etc. did NOT start with Q, K, X, or CQ.
