Yes. This is the default configuration.

Which documentation are you referring to? If we have something
unclear, we should re-phrase it.

If you disable LAM's f77 support, it will automatically disable ROMIO's
f77 support as well.

You should get an MPI that supports ROMIO and fortran if you run
"./configure FC=xlf; make all install". That is, specifically indicate
that you want to use the xlf compiler (I'm not sure that we'll find it
otherwise) and then use all the rest of the defaults.

Hope that helps.
