Shareware Disc 44 - Fortran Friends
-----------------------------------
From D.J. & K.M. Crennell (unless otherwise indicated)
1. !Fortran77
A desktop tool allowing compilation, linking, and execution. This
does NOT include the fortran compiler nor the linker; it can be used
with release 2 (and the ASD debugger if you wish), or you may use the
recently released Acorn DDE with its revised linker. The text file
'Instruct' within the !Fortran77 application directory gives setup and
running instructions.
The following libraries are written in Assembler for speed. Since most
people have neither the Assembler, nor the library making utilities, the
Assembler source is not included.
2. Binario (added 15 Jan 1992)
Fast binary input/output, callable from Fortran, as used by "Interacter"
from Interactive Software Services and supplied by Lawson Wakefield.
3. Graphics
33 Graphics Routines which emulate the similar BASIC commands
e.g. CALL LINE(IX1,IY1,IX2,IY2)
4. SpriteOp
44 Sprite_Op routines for all the SpriteOps
names of the form SPOPnn, 02 < nn < 62
5. Utils
11 Utilities e.g. J = IGET() simulates the BASIC GET command, and a
general SWI calling routine.
6. Wimp
51 Wimp routines covering all wimp operations + some utilities.
There are fortran test programs using these libraries called Tdraw
TGraphics, TSpriteOp TUtils and Twimp. There is no documentation
for these other than the comments within the programs which are
not intended as tutorials, just implementation tests.
Fortran source libraries contributed.
Only the source and documentation are supplied in directories f77 and
docs. To create libraries, compile the routines and move the aof to the
'lib' directory, see the file '!Fortran77.Instruct' for details.
1. DrawF
A set of utilities to create Draw files for 'path' and 'text' objects.
2. Graphdemo (added 31 Dec 91)
A set of utilities to plot a line graph through a set of X,Y points
with axes labelled with 'nice' values. The demo reads the points from
a file (called 'GraphData', not supplied), and plots the graph within a
window set by the user. The GraphData file has an x and a y on each
line, read with free format input. It has only been tested from a
non-WIMP program, and needs a little work to be usable from the WIMP.
The Drawfile GrfDemCons demonstrates the layout and meaning of the
variables. The only other documentation is in the source code comments.
3. ACMToms (added 17 Jan 92)
Various algorithms supplied by C.Johnson, originally part of the ACMToms
(See Readme in that directory for further information). Adapted to run
on RISC-OS by K.M.Crennell using the 'Fortran Friends' libraries.
4. ARTlib (added 19 Feb 93)
Library of utility routines which simplify free format input, supplied
by A.R.Thawley, (see Library.Docs.ARTReadMe for further information)
Fortran applications
1. SphereRot (added 7 Dec 91)
An example of the use of SpriteOps for the manipulation of objects made
of spheres. (Not Desktop)
2. WimpPoly (added 7 Dec 91)
An example of the use of Wimp routines called from Fortran to display
polyhedra from pre-stored datafiles. (There is not room for all the
datafiles on the !Fortran77 disc, they can be found on another ShareWare
disc.)
Advice for converting a Basic program to Fortran (with example).
List of reported bugs in Fortran77 release 2.
List of commercial suppliers of libraries callable from fortran.
List of bulletin boards accessible from the Joint Academic Network.
