NAME
     string - Fortran function for string concatenation

SYNTAX
     string(number, string1, string2, ....)
     character*m string

DESCRIPTION
     _S_t_r_i_n_g is a character function that takes on the value of
     the concatenation of a _n_u_m_b_e_r of strings.  If the strings

     blanks on the right of each component string are removed
     unless the string consists solely of one blank space.

           out="output"
           write(6,1)string(6,"This_    ",out," ",
          1  "is a st","ring",per)
       1   format(100a)
           end
