Re: backspace error (reading file from the end)

Hi, again.

I think I have figured out what happens.
It is probably some bug in the Inter Fortran
compiler. I tested my piece of code on the
data file with only two lines. If I use
datafile with many lines then
it turns out that backspace
can go backward up to the second line,
if I try to do backspace to move position
at the beginning of the first line, the
program crashes.

So Intel fortran compiler does not obey the rule

If a file is already positioned at the beginning of a file,
a BACKSPACE statement has no effect.

What do you think?
