Line Length Problem

[DanSandbergUCONN]

I have a 15,000 line program written in FORTRAN 77 that I am trying to compile in collaboration with another programmer.  The other programmer swears the program compiles on power PC Mac and Windows with no problem.  However, there are many lines of code in the source file in excess of 72 characters, which a fellow FORTRAN programmer tells me is a violation of FORTRAN 77. 

Is there a way to specify in AbsoftTools (the compiler I am using) to allow lines that are longer than 72 characters? 

How is it that my collaborator is able to compile the source file with no problems?

I know a continuation can be inserted, i.e.

       code line 1
          &code line 2

but this is proving to be a chore and it frustrates me that the other programmer isn't having the same problems.

Under the "configure" menu select "set project options".
Click "F77", then on "wide format".

Its a fairly common extension to the F77 language, so thats how he can compile it.
