Synopsis

Discover a versatile FORTRAN program designed to search, annotate, encode-decode, and reformat data files with ease.

The program can rearrange data pieces, insert labels or comments, and perform substitutions to edit content. It uses modular subroutines for flexible, machine-independent operation, making it suitable for a range of data management needs.

• Easy searching with multiple line-type support and boolean logic
