Technically, this is not a legal Fortran program because it does not 
contain any program units.  :-)  The shortest legal one-line program is 
this, which declares a single main program with no statements:
      end

That said, I agree that the Outline view should not give an error on an 
empty file.

Is the code fixed-format or free-format, and what filename extension are 
you using?  My best guess is that it's fixed-format code, but Photran is 
trying to parse it as free-format code.
