Free Form Input

All input to TRANSX is free form with no limitation to fixed fields. Numbers do not require decimal points, but the ``E'' is required when exponents are given. Hollerith strings are delimited with stars (*) or preceded by ``nH'' as in FORTRAN formats. Delimiters are not necessary if the string is a single word ({\it i.e.}, six or fewer characters) and starts with a letter. The construction ``nR'' causes the following entry to be repeated n times. Entries can be separated by any character not used for another purpose. A comma works, but spaces look better. Lines can be terminated early with /, and any input values not given are defaulted as defined in the input instructions. Any text appearing to the right of a ~/ (other than a / embedded in a Hollerith string) will be treated as a comment. Lines beginning with a \$ sign will also be treated as comments. Care must be used to include the / when needed; otherwise, the input routine will keep on reading cards until it has found the requested number of entries or reaches the end of the file. The proper input syntax should be made clear by the examples below.

TRANSX input card 1 is not read by the free-format input processor; it is read by a simple FORTRAN statement. Therefore, stars are not required. The ``stop'' at the end of a TRANSX input deck is a special case of card 1, and stars are not required there either (although they can be given).
