Answer 1

Type is an obsolete and completely non-standard statement (see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/805-4939/6j4m0vnbi/index.html). It is not portable because many compilers do not recognize it. It should be changed to a PRINT statement, as @francescalus suggest in the comment.

print *,'enter back-azimuth limits ib1,ib2 (integers!)'
