sun-spots fortran "blanks" program

[Pat Murphy]

ANSI X3.9-1978 FORTRAN 77, page 12-12 (full language, not subset):

   "If the unit specifier [in a format statement] specifies an internal
    file, the control information list must contain a format identifier
    other than an asterisk..."

Try using something like:

      read (string, fmt='(a)', err=999) temp

If you do this both on the terminal input and the internal read, you 
should not have to enter the initial string in quotes either.
