[comp.emacs] Array mode for Gnu Emacs

I work for a company called GZA.  We are consultants in the fields of
geotechnical engineering and groundwater resources.  In this work, I
often use finite-difference models of groundwater flow and contaminant
transport.  This invariably involves creating and editing large data
files for Fortran programs.  In particular, these data files usually
represent two-dimensional arrays of integer or floating point numbers.

In order to facilitate the creation and editing of these arrays, I
have written a new major mode for Gnu Emacs, which I call "Array
Mode".  Array mode allows one to move through the buffer by fields, to
copy fields into adjacent cells, to copy whole rows or columns, etc.
In this manner, one is spared the agony of counting spaces, making
sure Fortran I/O does not get confused, etc.

If you are interested in Array Mode, drop me a line.  I will either
send you a copy or post it to the net.

Happy hacking!
