JAK: ``The input reader for Fortran--77 follows the rules of Fortran--77---i.e., statement labels in columns 1--5, continuation character in column 6, columns 6--72 for code. However, note that Ratfor uses free-form syntax, and Fortran--90 also has a free-form syntax mode, which FWEB attempts to support.''
