From: walton%deimos@cit-hamlet.arpa 1. Since you posted the message about the Software Tools Mail System to the net (I believe), I'm suprised you don't know about "sepfor", which is a Tools Ratfor program to split monster Fortran programs into smaller pieces. 2. NAMELISTs are a way of inputting data to a Fortran program by name of variable. One says something like NAMELIST/FOO/I, J, A, B, C then, the statement READ (5, FOO) expects an input line like I=5 J=3 A=5.32 C='HELLO' This may not be completely correct - it has thankfully been a long time since I used IBM Fortran. VMS Fortran does compile Hollerith constants in code OK, but it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't handle them in NAMELIST statements. Holleriths aren't part of Fortran-77 anyway. Stephen R.
