- APPLE EVENTS AND Mac F2C v1.1

- ** INTRODUCTION AND QUICK-START **
-
- Mac F2C is Apple Event savvy. It support drag-&-drop translation. More
- importantly, you can drive Mac F2C translations entirely using Apple
- Events. Mac F2C provides two different specialized translation events.
- One (the 'f2c' event allows you to pass option choices in a UNIX-style
- option string (see "UNIX f2c Option Switch Syntax" for more information on
- the UNIX-style switches). The other (the 'translate' event) lets you pass
- option choices just like you would in the various options dialog. They
- also differ in that you can pass a list of files to the first, but only a
- single file to the second. Which you use is purely a matter of personal
- choice.
-
- Two sample Apple Scripts are enclosed. They were written using v1.1 of the
- AppleScriptâ„¢ extension and v1.1 of the AppleScript Editor. The script
- "Sample Mac F2C Script 1" illustrates how to use the 'f2c' event. The
- script "Sample Mac F2C Script 2" illustrates how to use the 'translate'
- event. If you use AppleScript, simply modify these scripts to meet your
- needs. Mac F2C includes a full 'aete' resource, so its dictionary
- provides detailed information on the exact syntax of the Apple Events
- supported by Mac F2C.
-
- The remainder of this document provides more detailed information for users
- who wish to know more about the Mac F2C Apple Events. In particular, the
- information below has all the information needed to write code that sends
- Apple Events to Mac F2C.

-
- ** Mac F2C APPLE EVENTS: THE DETAILS **
-
-
- REQUIRED APPLE EVENTS
-
- Mac F2C supports the four required Apple Events: open application, open
- documents, print documents, and quit application. These events behave as
- follows:
-
- - open application: No unique actions are performed.
-
- - open documents: Documents listed are translated into C using the
- default options settings. An error message is
- issued if the document name does not end in '.f' or
- '.F'. An open event is equivalent to a 'translate'
- event (see below) with no optional parameters.
-
- - print documents: Silently ignored; Mac F2C does not print anything.
-
- - quit application: Quits Mac F2C.
-
- Note that Mac F2C does not own any files (i.e., there are no files of type
- Mac F2C except for the application itself). The open event is used to
- support drag-&-drop operation. This allows you to translate a bunch of
- FORTRAN files by dragging them and dropping them on top of Mac F2C.
-
-
- THE Mac F2C SUITE
-
- The Mac F2C Suite is a set of Apple events that can be used to control the
- translation of FORTRAN files to C files. The Mac F2C suite consists of two
- events differing in how options are passed to the f2c kernel. The first
- event mimics the operation of the original f2c program on UNIX machines.
- Options for the f2c kernel are passed as a single string of UNIX-style
- option settings. The second event mimics the operation of Mac F2C.
- Options for the f2c kernel are passed by specifying the values of the
- check-boxes, radio-buttons, and edit-fields found in the various Mac F2C
- option dialogs.
-
- These two events are:
-
- Name Requested Action
- ---- ----------------
- f2c Translate the specified files (one or more) from
- FORTRAN to C using a UNIX-style string of options.
-
- translate Translate the specified file (only one) from FORTRAN
- to C setting options by setting choices in the options
- dialogs.
-
- More detailed event descriptions follow:
-
-
-
- f2c
- ~~~
-
- This event will have Mac F2C translate one or more FORTRAN files. The
- options for the f2c kernel are specified by a UNIX-style set of switches
- (e.g. "-A -P -w -f"; see "UNIX f2c Option Switch Syntax" for more
- information on the switches and their meaning).
-
- Event Class: kF2CEventClass
-
- Event ID: kAEf2cEvent
-
- Parameters:
- keyDirectObject typeAEList (elements the list of FORTRAN files
- are typeAlias) to translate
-
- keyUnixCmdStr typeChar a UNIX-style option string
-
- keyCreatorOption typeType the creator OSType for output
- files
-
- keyThinkOption typeBoolean touch the corresponding THINK
- project file?
-
- keyCWOption typeBoolean touch the corresponding
- CodeWarrior project file?
-
- keyMakeOption typeBoolean send THINK/CodeWarrior a
- make command after
- translation?
-
- Reply Parameters:
-
- keyAEResult typeAEList (elements the return code from the f2c
- are typeInteger kernel, one per file translated
-
- keyErrorNumber typeLongInteger error code if Mac F2C was unable
- to _process_ your event; not
- provided if no _processing_
- errors occur. Compile results
- (including compile errors) are
- returned in keyAEResult
-
- keyErrorString typeChar an error message whenever
- keyErrorNumber is non-zero
-
-
-
- translate
- ~~~~~~~~~
-
- This event will have Mac F2C translate one FORTRAN file. The options for
- the f2c kernel are specified by lists of settings corresponding to each of
- the options dialogs in Mac F2C. Radio-buttons and check-boxes are set by
- boolean values (true means selected or checked, false means unselected or
- unchecked). Edit-fields are set by short integer values.
-

- Parameters:
-
- keyDirectObject typeAlias the FORTRAN file to translate
-
- keyFortranOptions typeAEList (elements the settings of the FORTRAN
- are typeBoolean) Options dialog check-boxes
-

- check-boxes
-
- keyProtoOptions typeAEList (elements the settings of the Prototyping
- are typeBoolean) Options dialog check-boxes
-
- keyWarnOptions typeAEList (elements the settings of the Warning
- are typeBoolean) Options dialog check-boxes
-
- keyAdvancedOptions typeAEList (elements the numbers in the Advanced
- are typeShortInteger) Options edit-text fields
-
- keyUnixOptions typeChar a UNIX-style option string to
- be appended after all other
- options are processed
