Thanks to all those responded to my question about constructing
a variable length character string. I followed the suggestions
about constructing a character string to serve as my format
instruction and it worked like a charm.
Now another question about character strings and formats:
I have to construct a character string that spans multiple lines.
(In order to provide file annotation in HDF version 4, I have
to write out the entire multi-line annotation as a single character
string). Is there some way to embed a new-line (as in "C") within
a character string without having it mark the end of the string?
Thanks,
Catherine
