So far it looks like ONLY a newline beginning "*" works for ALL cases
:-(

Don't you have a son who is a programmer? A text pre-processor that
substitutes one code for the others would be pretty easy. It could have
an option to choose the code for the output file.

He's so busy at his own work he has no time for Dad anymore :-(

So I'm going to have to learn/refresh... I used to do Pascal OK.

On thinking about it a bit the only relatively reliable one is likely to be
Asterisk in column 1, required for backward compatibility from the old
Fortran days.

That's my suspicion also. Since my netlister can insert a newline
that's what I'll probably settle on.
