        subroutine ftrwup(iunit,frow,lrow,nshift,status)

C       shift rows in a table up by NROWS rows, overwriting the rows above

C       iunit   i  Fortran I/O unit number
C       frow    i  first row to be moved up
C       lrow    i  last row to be moved up (last row of the table)
C       nshift  i  how far to shift the rows (number of rows)
C       status  i  returned error status (0=ok)
