- FORTRIX-VMS may be best understood as a program converter. An ASCII file
- containing VMS FORTRAN source statements is read in. During the first phase
- FORTRIX-VMS analyzes the syntax and parses each line, checking for valid VMS
- FORTRAN or ANSI FORTRAN-77 syntax. If the line is valid FORTRAN-77, it is
- passed through unchanged. If it contains features that are recognizable VMS
- extensions, a conversion is effected. A symbol table is built, local and simple
- conversions are completed, and certain more complex conversion requirements are
- gagged for the second and third pass. The second pass massages the symbol
- table, taking care of any cross-referencing requirements. Statement labels are
- generated as required, and any special symbols are created. The third pass does
- final formatting of the output and prints a listing. During processing all
- messages are echoed to the screen and inserted into the listing surrounded by
- comments. lines of input that are not understood by FORTRIX-VMS as either VMS
- FORTRAN or ANSI FORTRAN-77 compliant, are flagged and passed through
- unconverted. Manual intervention may be required to complete program conversion.
