I have gotten the VMSSWEEP FORTRAN source from the SIMTEL20 Archives, but am having trouble compiling it. VMSSWEEP is described as a utility for handling .LBR and .ARC type library files on VAX VMS. However, I have been unable to compile it in a standard VAX/VMS environment. We are running VMS version 4.4 with the VAX FORTRAN 4.4 compiler. When I issue the command 'FOR VMSSWEEP', I get 131 error messages. Some of these seem to be caused by comment and continuation mark being in the wrong column. I don't know if the spacing in the file was corrupted or if this code was developed for a compiler that is more lenient. Also, I get erros for every SUBROUTINE, RETURN, and END statement with error messages like "stattement out of order" or "statement not valid in this program unit" !!! Can anyone shed some light on this problem? I apoligize if this seems trivial, but I intentionally purge all memory of FORTRAN ten years ago and have avoided all contact with VAX FORTRAN in favor of C and LISP.
