I have a FORTRAN program that opens a text file and prints portions of it to the screen. It seems that any line which contains a tab is double spaced by Fortran. If I try to print a portion of a program, which uses tabs in every line, the complete screen is double spaced, one line of text, one blank line, etc. Here are the open, print and format statements, perhaps one of you can tell me what I am doing wrong. OPEN(UNIT=1,TYPE='OLD',NAME=FILE,READONLY,CARRIAGECONTROL='LIST') . PRINT 20,LINE 20 FORMAT(1X,A80) If one of you could tell me why this inserts a CRLF after any line containing a tab, I would be much obliged. Dan graham@drcvax.arpa ------
