Kaveh, I'd like to second this.  Fortran is rather peculiar in its
interpretation of source text (think: 80-column punch card).  Craig
probably arrived at the code as it is after much experimentation (and
complaints ;-)  Please only change it to something that has *exactly*
the same semantics ....

Thanks,
