Yeah, but you get machine accuracy instead of a mere six digit
accuracy.

Okay, then how about

       double precision ... ,pi, ...
       !<stuff>
       pi=acos(-1.d0)
       !<more stuff>

17 characters, no extra libraries loaded, and double precision
accuracy (the double precision declaration statement doesn't count
against characters used, you're using it anyway for other variables).
