#101: Bug in reading energy grid of Horace SPE files

 Russell has some Horace generated SPE files which have energy grid values
 written in a format that is incorrectly read by the Fortran of Tobyfit.
 Tobyfit expects data in the format (8g10.4) which is a flexible format
 and, as long as the floating point number includes a decimal point and
 lies within the correct 10 characters, this will read most values OK.
 However if the number does not include a decimal point then the Fortran
 standard requires a strange interpretation which leads to values such as "
 8 " mapping to e.g. 8E-4, depending on the number of spaces either side of
 the digit.
 This can be corrected by using free format reading, assuming that at least
 one space always exists between vales in the energy grid data.
 Note that the Phi grid data is replaced with different values to those on
 input, I presume that these are not used in post-processing.
