GNU Emacs can sometimes be more clever than you think and convert SPACEs = to TABs. Check the contents in the source file! Position the text cursor = at the beginning of the blanks series and move it forward. Does it jump = forward? Or count the characters in the lines with wc (mark a line, M-x = shell-command-on-region, wc, RET). Are there Fortran compiler options to not convert a series of SPACES = into TAB? Does the output in *shell* buffer contain TABs (does the text = cursor jump? Does wc count TABs instead of SPACEs? Is C-u C-x =3D on the = output showing TABs?) You can also use isearch to find TABs: C-s C-q = TAB. -- Mit friedvollen Gr=FC=DFen Pete When in doubt, use brute force. =96 Ken Thompson
