Ignore my earlier plea for help with VMSSWEEP. I solved the problem
with compiling the code, but don't understand why it happened.

For others who may encounter the same difficulties, I was getting
many error messages from the VAX/VMS FORTRAN compiler on the
VMSSWEEP.FOR file from the archives at SIMTEL20. As it turned out,
all the errors were caused by lines with a form-feed character in
column 1. I was not seeing these characters because the particular
combination of editor/terminal didn't show control characters. I 
tried a different editor, saw (and removed) the FF's, and compilation
went smoothly from there.

What I don't understand is whether other VAX FORTRAN compilers can
handle source with form-feeds or if they form-feeds were inserted
somewhere in the distribution process.
