DC_READ_FREE() and double precision [message #704]

I have just found out, much to my chagrin, that the free-format
input routine DC_READ_FREE() does *NOT* correctly handle numbers
formatted in the form sx.xxxxDsxx, where 's' means sign, 'x' means
a digit and the 'D' is the double precision exponent for scientific
notation.

I am getting sick (and tired) of C programs that aren't written to
handle FORTRAN format ascii output. Arrrggh !!

Anyway, thought I'd let y'all know about that...
