Just add a leading space as below:

998     FORMAT(1X,20A5)

TYPE is very old and was a non-standard form that only sent output to the 
console device.

Thanks.  Since the SPEAK subroutine is only a few lines, I'll post it here.  
Maybe someone hows how TYPE, FORMAT(20A5), and FORMAT(/) work.



        SUBROUTINE SPEAK(IT)
        IMPLICIT INTEGER(A-Z)
        COMMON RTEXT,LLINE
        DIMENSION RTEXT(100),LLINE(1000,22)

        KKT=RTEXT(IT)
        IF(KKT.EQ.0)RETURN
999     TYPE 998, (LLINE(KKT,JJT),JJT=3,LLINE(KKT,2))
998     FORMAT(20A5)
        KKT=KKT+1
        IF(LLINE(KKT-1,1).NE.0)GOTO 999
997     TYPE 996
996     FORMAT(/)
        RETURN
        END

Zane,

just had a look at your Alpha page, and noticed that you missed an emulator:
FreeAXP / Avanti from Migration Specialties, 
http://www.migrationspecialties.com/
This is where the ES40 emulator went, AFAIK.

cu,
Martin

Betreff: [Simh] DEC Alpha Emulation

I'm in the process of slowly updating my DEC Emulation website, which has been 
largely stagnant since 2007.  The first page I'm spending some significant time 
on is the DEC Alpha page, as I'm curious to see what the current options are.  
In reviewing things, I notice that Alpha emulation was worked on at some point 
for SIMH (probably around 2006).  What is the current state of that work?  I 
had a quick google, and the most popular hit seems to be mirrored copies of my 
site.

Thanks,
Zane

I have vague recollections that FORMAT(/) prints a new line

Format(20A5) takes 20 elements of an array and prints them as character stings 
padded to a width of 5 characters.

"TYPE" is not standard fortran. That must have been a DEC extension. Standard 
fortran would have used "write".
