Now that I've got your attention, I'd like to ask if anybody has ever had
any experience with reading a Vax VMS fortran carriage control file with
Vax-11 C. I want to read in one line at a time, and every line is of a
varying length. I think this pretty much precludes using fortran i/o routines,
as I haven't figured out how to input varying length strings in fortran (I
could be wrong, of course!). Currently, when I read the line in in C, the
first column is skipped, which contains vital control data for the program
(the program was originally written in Whitesmith C, and some workaround
succeeded).
I have nothing to offer any assistor except my undying gratitude. Any sug-
gestions or clues or hints will be greatly appreciated. Many thanx in ad-
vance.
