In case anyone is interested, index() was an f77 intrinsic function.
It is used throughout the COLUMBUS codes for simple string matching.
The function was generalized in f90 to allow searching backwards and to
accommodate the situation in which the substring has zero length
(zero-length strings were not allowed in f77, but have been allowed
since f90). I think the function is unchanged in f03.
