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,
