I smell a perl script as a preprocessor before compiling. You just forget about the stuff in column 73 and use perl to delay a line and add the & in 73 to a card that comes before a card with something in column 6. You could also get creative with tab characters that would be removed and replaced with spaces in the perl script. Come to think of it, you could do that in FORTRAN. And, you're right. The last FORTRAN code I created was used on the HEAO spacecraft launched in 1975. It's possible to run a perl script on an open but saved file in BBEdit. BBEdit will take note of changes made on the copy in memory and reload the revised image. You might also just pipe the deck through the perl script as a line in your make files. -- --> Give me liberty or give me Obamacare <-- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
