Re: NEC-LIST: Compiling NEC4

Jerry,

Thanks that fixed my problem. But I only needed to change the "*"
format statement for the the integer read to get the program to work.
My compiler did not like it when I changed format for the real read.
I got the code from you in 1995 so it must have been before it was
changed.

Sounds like I should upgrade my compiler too. Thanks again.
