Carol,
I'm the author of -cf3-. As you suspect, there is no built-in way change the output structure, as the code must completely process a
given variable before moving to the next. Given the logic of -cf3-, it would be far easier to write a completely new program than to
try to edit this one to generate your output style. Simpler yet may be to capture the output from -cf3- and post-process it into
your new structure.
