How many have you tried that use &, zero?
The one I used was gfortran compiled with gcc, running on rextester.com
so probably not Windows. This program didn't compile (4-space
indentation added):
!gfortran, gcc version 5.4.0 20160609
program hello
pri&
nt *, "Hello World!"
end program hello
Probably, an older Fortran that is strictly column-based would work,
with a continuation character in column 6, but I don't have such a
version to try.
