SYMPTOMS
Using a carriage control of 1 when writing to the screen prints an Ankh symbol. The appropriate output should be a blank line.



CAUSE
The ASCII form-feed character (decimal 12) is displayed as an Ankh symbol. The symbol is not being backspaced over as documented.



RESOLUTION
The 1 carriage control is not supposed to function when writing to the screen (see page 99 of the "Programmer's Guide"). Because it performs no function, don't use it.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation 32 for Windows NT, version 1.0. This problem was fixed in Fortran PowerStation for Windows NT, Version 1.0 with the release of Windows NT, Version 3.51, and in Fortran PowerStation 32, version 4.0.



MORE INFORMATION
