We currently use in error.c (show_locus):
     error_printf ("In file %s:%d\n", f->filename,
Thus we would need to change this to
     error_printf ("%s:%d:\n", f->filename,

We currently print:
------------------------------------
In file hello.F:3

write(*,) 'Hello!'
      1
Error: Syntax error in WRITE statement at (1)
------------------------------------
and then
------------------------------------
hello.F:3:

write(*,) 'Hello!'
      1
Error: Syntax error in WRITE statement at (1)
------------------------------------

Should we do this change to make Emacs happy?


By the way, g95 has the same problem.
