ooops sorry - should have tested it first!
Code:
BEGIN {
   fortranEXE="choose_lib"
   outf1="outf1"
   outf2="outf2"
}
{
   ................
   ................
   cmd=fortranEXE " " dbfile " " q libfile q " " q outf1 q " " q outf2 q " " q icoord q " " q icoord q
   cmd ; close(cmd)
   getline var1 < outf1
   getline var2 < outf2

   n1=split(var1, var1A, FS)
   n1=split(var2, var2A, FS)

   var11=var1A[1]
   var12=var1A[2]
   var21=var2A[1]
   var22=var2A[2]
   printf("var1->[%s] var2->[%s]\n", var1, var2)
   printf("var11->[%s] var12->[%s]\n", var11, var12)
   printf("var21->[%s] var22->[%s]\n", var21, var22)
