Just add a leading space as below:
998 FORMAT(1X,20A5)
TYPE is very old and was a non-standard form that only sent output to the
console device.

Thanks. Since the SPEAK subroutine is only a few lines, I'll post it here.
Maybe someone hows how TYPE, FORMAT(20A5), and FORMAT(/) work.
SUBROUTINE SPEAK(IT)
IMPLICIT INTEGER(A-Z)
COMMON RTEXT,LLINE
DIMENSION RTEXT(100),LLINE(1000,22)
KKT=RTEXT(IT)
IF(KKT.EQ.0)RETURN
999 TYPE 998, (LLINE(KKT,JJT),JJT=3,LLINE(KKT,2))
998 FORMAT(20A5)
KKT=KKT+1
IF(LLINE(KKT-1,1).NE.0)GOTO 999
997 TYPE 996
996 FORMAT(/)
RETURN
END

Zane,
just had a look at your Alpha page, and noticed that you missed an emulator:
FreeAXP / Avanti from Migration Specialties,
http://www.migrationspecialties.com/
This is where the ES40 emulator went, AFAIK.
cu,
Martin

Betreff: [Simh] DEC Alpha Emulation
I'm in the process of slowly updating my DEC Emulation website, which has been
largely stagnant since 2007. The first page I'm spending some significant time
on is the DEC Alpha page, as I'm curious to see what the current options are.
In reviewing things, I notice that Alpha emulation was worked on at some point
for SIMH (probably around 2006). What is the current state of that work? I
had a quick google, and the most popular hit seems to be mirrored copies of my
site.

Thanks,
Zane

I have vague recollections that FORMAT(/) prints a new line
Format(20A5) takes 20 elements of an array and prints them as character stings
padded to a width of 5 characters.
"TYPE" is not standard fortran. That must have been a DEC extension. Standard
fortran would have used "write".
