I think this is what you have to do. READCOL (a NASA Astronomy Library
file) is as good as any when your data is in well defined columns and
all the data is there. If data is missing then about the only thing you
can do is get your cousin Vinny to go after the guy that created the
file. READCOL is probably as fast as your routine, Philip, because it's
doing what you are doing. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. I have to admit, I think I've used READCOL once in my life, but
that's only because I'm stubborn and like to roll my own. :-)
