I downloaded the FITS package, and it's worse than I thought. Please don't unfix gfortran. This is valid fixed-form Fortran. c23456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 program a integer aaaaaaaaaaaa, bbbbbbbbb, cccccccc, dddddddddd, eeeeeeee, f 1gggg fgggg = 1 print *, fgggg end program a If I understand correctly, you want to change gfortran to parse a leading tab as 5 spaces if it is followed by digit; otherwise, the leading tab is parsed as 6 spaces. OK, change the above program by replacing the 1 in column 5 to 'd'. This is again a valid fixed-form code. Now, replace the leading spaces with a tab. Do you expand the leading tab by 5 or 6 spaces? Seriously, the FITS code is invalid. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34899
