If you include in your OPEN statement the qualifier "CARRIAGECONTROL='LIST'" then you can read and write files with variable length records and without the FORTRAN carriage-control record attribute. This will give you data files which you can pass back and forth between user-written FORTRAN programs and a text editor. The place to go for more information is "HELP FORTRAN STATEMENTS OPEN," I think. Earle R. Horton. 23 Fletcher Circle, Hanover, NH 03755 (603) 643-4109 Graduate student.
