This is not a bug in NM-TRAN. But I can see how it happens in
MS-DOS. Both wordpad and notepad (unlike ms-dos edit and unix vi) will
write a file whose last line does not terminate with cr/lf. Such a line
is invisible to the Fortran I/O libraries that are part of g77
(in the MS-DOS environment) and FORTRAN 77 5.0 (in the Solaris
environment).
I tested this in both MS-DOS and Solaris with a little fortran program
that branches to statement 10 when an end of file condition occurs.
program read
character*10 text
read (5,55,end=10) text
print *,text
55 format (A10)
stop
10 print *,'nothing read'
end
I created a file named infile containing only "1234567890" with no cr/lf
using notepad. I copied it to Solaris using ftp. In both environments,
when the program is run with infile as input, it produces
the output "nothing read". E.g., in Solaris,
% f77 read.for
read.for:
MAIN read:
% a.out<infile
nothing read
I don't know how to overcome this problem. Changing the format from A10
to (say)
A1 or * does not help. It seems to me it is a bug (or maybe a design
feature?) in the Fortran I/O library.
