does anybody know how to get mathematica to write a bunch of numbers to
a file in fortran-compatible format?  the best option i've found so far
is to use the ColumnForm command, but as you can see below, the output
isn't compatible with standard fortran (which uses ** instead of ^).  if
you use the FortranForm command you get (at least on my machine) a lot of
excess baggage as well.  i can work around this problem, but it sure seems
to me that there's got to be a nice way to do such a simple i/o excercise.

thanks a lot,
john pender
