Some people have mentioned INQUIRE.
I have a program which takes its input from a number of files. These may
have been written either as formatted or unformatted (binary) but contain
essentially the same kind of information.
Therefore I need a way to tell the program how each file should be read. I
have tried INQUIRE with the FORMATTED=fmt option, but it is completely
useless. Indeed, although the fmt variable is supposed to take the values
'YES' or 'NO', it looks that the standard allows also the response
'UNKNOWN'. And this is the value which I find systematically returned.
What is the point of providing such a facility, if it cannot be used?
