This style of string constant is obsolete in Fortran since 1978, and in C at least since 1989. You could do the similar thing in K&R C, e.g. static int JINNU[2]={'BLUE','BLNK'} assuming that your C int is the same size as your Fortran INTEGER, but it is even less portable in C than in Fortran. For example, you will run into byte order problems in comparing with string constants. So, do the obvious thing and use standard Fortran CHARACTER and C string constants. You will need strncmp() or the like in C.
