Hi!

I was trying to read some binary data written by a GFortran binary with binaries
written with other compilers (LF, SGI), and I couldn't get anywhere, so I just
started to poke around to see where it came from...

I tried to have a look at the Fortran standard, but I didn't get anywhere, but
my experience with several compilers is that they do use this REC-LENGTH thing,
so (and g77 did also!), so I would say it would be a pity to have trouble
reading old binary data from g77 with gfortran...

It's actually a rather self-centered comment, but maybe I'm not the only one...

Cheers!

Philippe
