# strips "!" comments and tabs from file $1, and writes to file $1s
# (with an "s" appended).

# This is useful for fortran compilers which can't handle comments
# or tabs in namelist input files.

# The first -e command contains a tab character which you can't see:
sed -e 's/\	/ /g' -e 's/\!.*//'    <   $1   >   ${1}s
