[Simh] HP2100 Fortran problem

[Saporito Fausto]

Hello Tim, 

I tried several descriptor: R, A, H and I have always the same error. 
I saw a FORTRAN77 manual for HP1000, and the first two formats was
written there. 

regards, 
Fausto

I'm not an expert in HP2100 Fortran, but in any other Fortran I would 
expect the statement to be FORMAT(4HCIAO) (e.g. 4-character Hollerith 
String). 

In the DEC-ish Fortrans that I grew up with, R is not a valid Format 
descriptor.
