- Welcome to FXT - the FORTRAN EXPLORATION TOOLS!
-
- The FORTRAN Function Tree Generator (FFT) is a powerful program
- development, maintenance and documentation tool. It provides
- the programmer the ability to analyze the FORTRAN source code
- of applications, no matter how big or complex they are. FFT is
- very useful to explore new, unknown software and to support
- software reuse and maintenance.
-
- By scanning and analyzing the program source code, FFT builds
- an internal representation of the function call hierarchy
- relations. The analysis is done with the original source code,
- no additional editing to mark functions or data types in the
- source code is necessary. Several features and options allow
- the user to customize the generated hierarchy tree chart output
- and to get a large set of useful information about the source
- code.
-
- An important feature is the database generation which allows
- the recalling of information without reprocessing the source.
- This database can again be read from FFT to produce different
- outputs or to add new files to the database. The database
- format is dBASE compatible. A special recall program called
- FFTN allows fast searching for items in the database. This
- program can be used within any environment, for example from
- inside editors like BRIEF, QEDIT or MicroEMACS (DOS and WINDOWS
- version), to provide a full software project management system
- with access to all functions and data types with just a
- keystroke. This feature makes a comfortable "hypertext source
- code browser and locator" system out of the editor. The windows
- version provides an additionally DLL for database access.
-
- The generation of output files compatible with HTML viewers
- like NCSA Mosaic, Netscape or WinWord Internet Assistant is
- possible. Also RTF output files which can be compiled for
- Windows Help and output for the Rational Rose CASE tool is
- possible.
-
- Another feature is the calculation of the critical function
- call path. It is possible to generate formatted ASCII text
- files with lists of the functions and the scanned files which
- can be used as input for other programs like word processors or
- spreadsheet calculators.
-
- This software package is provided either as a compressed self-
- extracting archive file FXTnmm.EXE (FORTRAN EXPLORATION TOOLS
- version n.mm) or as a ZIPped archive file FXTnmm.ZIP. The
- Windows versions are named FXTWnmm.EXE (FORTRAN EXPLORATION
- TOOLS version n.mm for Windows) or FXTWnmm.ZIP.
