Subject: Re: *vwrite command, integer format character that works on a HP and SUN machine
Author: James Kosloski

A: One way to eliminate the decimal point is to use the FORTRAN descriptor TL
(tab left) and put a space where the decimal point was. For example:

*vwrite,dat(1)
(f10.0,tl1,' ')

This works on a SUN machine, I have not tried it on other platforms
