Fortran question

Noureddine

Hi everybody,

I want to understand the following command lines from Peric's code:

CHARACTER*10 FILIN, NAME*6

PRINT *, ' ENTER PROBLEM NAME (SIX CHARACTERS): '

READ(*,'(A6)') NAME

WRITE( FILIN,'(A6,4H.cin)') NAME

OPEN (UNIT=5,FILE=FILIN)

REWIND 5

My question is about WRITE and OPEN command lines. I have understood that we write NAME in an internal file, but I did not understand the format '(A6,4H.cin)'. For OPEN command line, I did not understand what does it mean FILIN, name of file or what ?.

if there's someone who can explain me this part of code, I will be thankful.
