Not long ago someone posted some information about TIDY, a fortran source clean up utility and renumberer. The version was for MS-DOS but it also included source and instructions for converting to unix. I did the conversion to convex unix which is 4.2. The results so far have been less than useful. All the problems listed below, occurred in large grouped sources and most can not be duplicated easily with small test programs. If '*' is used as comment character it can first confuse then kills tidy. (debugger shows that the kimpak routine is where it dies.) The kupper routine provided does not work as advertized. Uppercase tidy commands will be missinterpreted, ignored or will kill the job. The first 5 colums can be lost, meaning loss of labels and comment characters. When this occurs (big, hard to debug jobs only, of course) the label reference are not changed. The NOCOMM option is ignored. The label referance in DO loops is inserted without any padding spaces. making them hard to read. Does anyone have fixes for these problem (or other problems I missed). sback@elbereth.rutgers.edu back@r2d2.rutgers.edu back@chemz.rutgers.edu
