Introduction
WINDOWS FOR FORTRAN are a set of routines written for MS FORTRAN compiler,
to provide windowing capabilities, and more forgiving input routines.
These routines are mostly in ASSEMPLY, but FORTRAN programmers will feel at
home because it uses the fortran calling convention and does not impose
any limits on the size of different types other than charactar arrays.
I have provided a short documentations for the routines, also it will be
of great help to study the source code of the demo program.
I have also provided two version of the library
WINDOW.LIB for fortran 4.0+
WIND33.LIB for fortran 3.3
so you can use either one to compile and run your code. WIND33.LIB might
work fine with MS FORTRAN 3.2 but I can not guarantee it. Try it and tell
me.
These routines took a lot of time and study to be completed. The least I ask
from you is to let me know how do you think about them, and what can be done
to improve them. You can send me your comments at the address which you will
find somewhere in this file.
HAPPY COMPUTING...

License for Use
These WINDOWS FOR FORTRAN Library modules may be copied, distributed
(free of charge), and used "non-commercially" provided that they are not
modified in any way.
If you find this routines usefull please support the Author by sending a
donation of any kind or amount. This will make me feel happy and encourage
me to continue my work.
If you like to get the source code and printed document and source listing
send a donation for $40.00 to the mailing address below.
You can get the last version by either sending me a disk in a SASE, or

Note:
The demo program was compiled to write directly to screen without snow .
If your screen does have snow edit the file DEMO.FOR, change the line:
call winit(2,imode)
to
call winit(1,imode) for direct display with snow
or
call winit(0,imode) for writing through bios
recompile again using the appropriate library.
For MS FORTRAN 4.0 use
fl /FPa DEMO.FOR /link window
or whatever floating point library you use.
Have a good time.
