I don't completely understand the "script file" statement
so this may be way off the mark, but I'd just use a dynamic
language or a *nix filter like awk to remove the spaces
from the file, e.g.,
The usual set of unix utilities includes a program called tr that
can do this. There is a set of such utilities that will run as
command line utilities under 32 bit windows. I should have the URL,
but I don't have it right now. I think it is also part of the
"Services for Unix" package from microsoft, available as a free
download.
tr -d ' ' < infile > outfile
(The command line quoting conventions are different under windows.)
This is most likely much faster than a Fortran program, if you have
large files.
