If you really want the 80 col experience, I think that was the fortran 77 default. You'd even get compiler errors if you try to exceed it. Of course there were flags to increase the line length limit but don't tell your colleagues.

Fixed-form Fortran source is 72 columns. Anything after column 72 is ignored without error as a comment.
