Agreed. But many people have asked for the tool, and it appears we

If you script this (based on pwapply) you can bail out early if the

FORTRAN? The syntactically incorrect statement "DO 10 I = 1.10" will
parse and generate code creating a variable, DO10I, as follows:
"DO10I = 1.10" If that doesn't terrify you, it should.
