Fortran/t mode -- what is it?

Fortran/t mode -- what is it?

[George Nurser]

I've been editing a certain fortran file with emacs, and it has put
the code into something called (Fortran/t ) mode. In this mode certain
commans, such as C-M-j behave rather strangely.

What is this mode for, and how do I go back into straight Fortran mode
if I so wish?

The emacs is quite recent  --  22.0.97.1

Regards, George Nurser.

The file has some tab characters in the first 100 lines, which has
caused fortran.el to assume it is in "tab format", which is a fortran
variety with some special formatting rules.

Set indent-tabs-mode to nil in that file. Or set fortran-analyze-depth
to 0 if you don't want this feature.

Thanks. This solved the 'problem'.
