VMS FORTRAN has about a zillion options for its OPEN statement.  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.
