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
