This is a handy little program that will handle the drudgery of
Editing, Compiling, Linking, and even Debugging with Code View
any of the FORTRAN source codes you like. If you hate typing in
all of those commands and switches or have a batch program that
does the same thing now but requires changing every time you make
a program change, then this program is for you! Within FORCOM
are all of the FORTRAN 5.0 switches at your disposal. Actually
they are in an ASCII file called Forcom.hlp so that you may print
it out and keep handy.
All you have to do is enter FORCOM [source file] [extra routines]
The command line parameters are not necessary though. However,
if you do include a command line parameter the first one should
be your MAIN program. Following ones are treated as supplemental
routines that will be linked with the MAIN. FORCOM also
remembers its last configuration so that the next time you start
it up it knows what your doing or about to do.
Things to remember: To compile using MS Fortran 5.0 several DOS
environment parameters must be set.
1. Lib= should point to the subdirectory containing the
fortran libraries.
2. Include= Should point to the subdirectory containing the
include files.
3. Tmp= should point to the directory for temporary files.
4. Also the Path to your compiler HAS TO BE part of the DOS
Path.
Other things to keep in mind.
1. All files in forcom should be entered omitting the file name
extension.
(exception: The editor, compiler, and code view names MUST
include the .exe extension).
2. Don't mess with the file FORCOM.CFG. It is in ASCII format
and yes, the blank lines mean something!
$5.00 is not much money for a handy utility. If you like this
program and find it useful then go ahead and send the money in.
This first version is not anything fancy so if you find any bugs
or just want to tell me about some peculiarity then feel free.
