I don't think that is how real Fortran formats work. My memory is that
you only put a dot in the format if there were no dots in your data file

Your rather sarcastic comment about knowledge given by John's mother seems
inappropriate, given that he told you where his information came from and it is
the first place you should have looked.

That's great, John. Your mother told you when you were born? How am I
supposed to know? Thank you both.
The following format statement did it!! I just change F5.3 to F5, 5F8.4
to 5F8. I also change 2E15.9 to 2A9, and then use the following
as.numeric to convert the alphanumerical to numerical. T
It has been a while since I used Fortran formatted input, but the following,
without dots in the format, works:

V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6
Thanks John. That helped, but I got a mixed of good thing and bad thing.
Good is R does not like the scientific number format "3E15.9" but I was
able to read with alphanumerical format "3A15" (and convert to
numerical). Bad is R does not like the numbers .1234, .2345 without the
zeros before th
