   fin:  A data table with space separated columns.
         Comment lines are started with '*', they are just copied

   fout: The fin data table with a particular column altered or
         an additional column on the end created according to the
         parameters.

   scalep:  parameters to control the program.  The file must contain the
      following parameters, one per line:

      parameterversion: The version number of the program.  This allows the
         user to be warned if an old parameter file is used.

      inputcolumn: integer; the column to read in.
      lowerbound:  real;    the lower bound to accept
      upperbound:  real;    the upper bound to accept
      multiplier:  real;    a number to multipy the data by
      adder:       real;    a number to add to the data after multiplication
      colwid:      integer; output column width in characters
      coldec:      integer; output column decimals in characters
      newcolumn:   character; if 'n' put a new column at the end
         of the line, otherwise alter the inputcolumn.
         NB: newcolumn is not implemented yet

description

   This program allows one to manipulate the data in a space delimited
   data table.  One can add a column at the end or one can alter a
   column in the middle of the table.  One can exclude values outside
   a given range (lowerbound to upperbound).
