i lost track with fortan 90 but up to that point blanks could be freely
inserted anywhere except in strings

i use code things like

        p r o g r a m  m a i n
        i n t e g e r  p
100     f o r m a t ( *p=* i 1 0 )
        d o  1  p = 1 , 1 0
        p r i n t  1 0 0 , p
  1     c o n t i n u e
        e n d
