Re: [ferret_users] ppl yfor

Hi -
It looks like the machinery that generates strings for labels from a 
user-supplied format has trouble with a format statement with a string 
and then an I format.  (The command ppl yfor ("B", i4) also fails, 
giving B****).  I'll look into this, but in the meantime note that a 
format of

  ppl yfor ("\", f8.0)

works. The addition of a dot a the end of your numbers may not quite be 
what you want but it's closer to the desired result.  Note that Prasad 
is using "\" for a blank; if we just use " ", then subsequent processing 
removes the blanks preceeding the numbers.
