I had no compilation problems with g77.
300 format( 1000(a,$))
1
Error: $ must the last specifier in format string at (1)
g77 documentation states:
"A dollar sign at the end of an output format specification suppresses
the newline at the end of the output."
Since this (a $ as format specifier) is an extension, there is nothing
in the standard against this. On the other hand, all the compilers I
have at hand accept this, so I think we might as well remove this contraint.
I think this can be reported as a bug.
