Hi!

I'm reading UTM map coordinates from an ASCII file, which has lines
like:
681765.37 7450650.54 334 1

I read this with code on the form:
while (NOT EOF(unit)) do begin
format='(2D,2I)'
readf,unit,temp1,temp2
UTMcoords(*,i)=temp1
pixelcoords(*,i)=temp2
i=i+1
endwhile
(all relevant variables in double format)

Everything works out fine, exept that the second column is rounded off:
7450650.54 ---> 7450650.5
that is: 8 numbers in any case (before or after the decimal-point). "So
what?" you're saying? The problem is that I really need all my 9
numbers. Anyone got an idea??
