How do I manage to read all the lines of my data file?

first of all I'm forced to work with F77 (shame on me for not giving
any information at all;-)) and I need to operate on unix as well as on
windows(XP). A "quick 'n' dirty" approach will be sufficient because it
will be an intermediate solution anyway.

List directed I/O was added in the Fortran 77 version.
It makes much more sense than explicit formats for terminal I/O.

In the days of cards, fields were specified by card columns, and,
for efficiency could be packed with no blank space in between fields.
