A general sort of suggestion, since nobody else replied ...

First get all of the input into a sufficiently large character string.

Then use "internal read" to get the integer data from this string.

(1) one (which you do not mention) is the communication between html and

    URL explaining the basic of it :

    http://www.fcc.gov/mmb/asd/bickel/fortran.html

    This URL addresses clearly the possibilities of POST and GET. It does
    mention the portability problems, but does not supply a portable solution
    for it (but a working solution on some platforms). I had some private
    e-conversation with the author ... may be he had time to work on.

    If THAT was your problem please re-post.

(2) I assume you have already found a way to cope with (1) so you have now
    in your program a long CHARACTER*n string of "true" length m<n, in the
    form :

      variablename1=value1&variablename2=value2&....

    Writing a parser using INDEX and the other character intrinsics should
    be an easy exercise. I won't consider this a problem (no, I haven't a
    canned solution ... although I have other parsers)

    My suggestion would be to have two parsing routines, a general one

       CALL GET_NEXT_VAR(name,value,error)

    which at the first call returns name='variablename1' and value='value1'
    as strings (if number, READ(value,*)NUMBER), at the second the next
    variable and so on.

    and another one  

       CALL GET_NAMED_VAR(name,value,error)

    which called with name with an intent of input will return the value
    of the variable (e.g. CALL GET_NAMED_VAR('variablename2',value,error)
    will return value='value2'

(3) or perhaps you are referring to the final detail which should be hidden
    in a service routine called by the previous two ... The URL-encoded
    string will contain some %hh sequences instead of some characters.

    Again it should be an easy exercise to :

       store the hex value hh in a CHARACTER*2 HEXSTRING

       convert HEXSTRING in an integer decimal value NDEC

       generate the corresponding ascii character CHAR(NDEC)

       and replace '%nn' with CHAR(NDEC)

    Again I have no pre-canned solution. but for the hex to decimal
    conversion. I will post immediately after a prototype ...
