weird f77 bug solved....

[R. Curtis Jackson]

Earlier today, I posted a 'bug' in f77, here is the gist:

	do 100 d = .....	/* this worked fine */
	do 100 d2 = .....	/* this generated a syntax error */

The reason for this is the f77 extension which allows a double
precision exponent, which is a multiplier base 10.  In other words,
'1d2' equates to '100' (1 * 10^2).  f77, on the statement above,
was squeezing out the space between the '100' and the 'd2' and
parsing it as a double precision constant '100d2'; thus the
syntax error.

Thanks to mhuxj!presley for a quick and accurate answer to this
problem,
