- I've seen a commercial version and a public domain one.
- Here's a cutout from the man pages of ftnchek, the
- free product. (Heartily recommended by me; I use it a lot.)
- Apparently it is available from netlib.
-
- Ftnchek was designed by Dr. Robert Moniot, professor at
- Fordham University, College at Lincoln Center. During the
- academic year of 1988-1989, Michael Myers and Lucia Spagnu-
- olo developed the program to perform the variable usage
- checks. During the following year it was augmented by Lois
- Bigbie to check subprogram arguments and COMMON block
- declarations. Brian Downing assisted with the implementa-
- tion of the INCLUDE statement. Additional features will be
- added as time permits.
- [...]
- For further information, you may contact Dr. Robert Moniot
- at either of the following network addresses:
-
- MONIOT@FORDMULC.BITNET
- moniot@mary.fordham.edu
-
- This document is named ftnchek.man. The Ftnchek program can
- be obtained by sending the message send ftnchek from fortran
- to the Internet address: netlib@ornl.gov . Installation
- requires a C compiler for your computer.
