	Thanks. But people should be aware of the special case of Fortran
	Carriage-control files. You don't want to change the space in column
	one which is followed by seven spaces into a TAB, do you? ...

Have you tried the programs I posted?  The VAX C library understands FORTRAN
carriage control format, and will expand the input lines into text streams
according to the FORTRAN definitions.
