- Forchek is written in a portable style of C. You must have a C
- compiler for the machine on which you wish to run the program.
-
- Version 2.4: some bugs fixed, INCLUDE files accepted, EQUIVALENCE
- statement processing, allow blanks in numeric constants. NOTE: the
- format of project files has been changed. They are not compatible
- with project files created by Version 2.3.
-
- Version 2.3: a few more bugs fixed, and several syntax extensions added,
- notably DO WHILE. Project files added.
-
- Version 2.2: two reported bugs in V.2.1 were fixed, and some features
- were added. See forchek.doc for details.
-
- The file is shipped in the form of a "sh archive" or "shar" file. You
- should first concatenate all parts in order (if it was sent in
- pieces), removing any mail headers. Next, if you have a UNIX system,
- simply feed it as input to the program "sh" to unpack it
- automatically. If you do not have a UNIX system, you will have to use
- your text editor to clip out each file manually. You will observe
- that each line of every file has been prefixed with the letter X, and
- all tabs have been converted to the grave accent (ASCII code 60
- hexadecimal). This was done to prevent clobbering during shipment
- across network gateways. You should use your editor to remove all
- initial X's and to change all grave accents to tabs.
-
- After accomplishing this step, you should find that you have received
- the following set of source files:
-
- forchek.c intrins.h symtab.h
- forchek.h iokeywds.h symtab2.c
- forlex.c prsymtab.c tokdefs.h
- fortran.c symtab.c
-
- You should also have received the following auxiliary files:
-
- average.f build.com makefile.tc
- average.out makefile
-
- Documentation is in the files:
-
- forchek.doc forchek.hlp forchek.man forchek.ps
-
- The first is a flat text file. Forchek.hlp is for making a help
- library for VMS systems. Forchek.man and forchek.ps are provided for
- the convenience of those with access to nroff/troff or PostScript,
- respectively.
-
-
- VAX/VMS users should rename "AVERAGE.F" to "AVERAGE.FOR".
- Once Forchek is working, you can test it by giving the command:
-
- $ forchek -list -sym average
-
- Then compare the output against the file "average.out". (Trailing
- blanks have been removed from average.out due to shipping the Forchek
- package across network gateways.)
-
- To install Forchek, follow the instructions below for your operating
- system.
-
-
- (1) Unix
-
- Give the command:
-
- $ make
-
-
-
- (2) VAX/VMS
-
- Give the command
-
- $ @BUILD
-
- After the program has been compiled, you must turn it into a
- so-called "DCL foreign command" so that it can be invoked by
- giving its name on a command line, instead of using the RUN
- command. Do this with the command
-
- $ FORCHEK :== $disk:[directory]FORCHEK
-
- where you substitute the disk and directory names where the file
- FORCHEK.EXE resides. This command must be executed once per
- login.
-
-
-
- (3) MS-DOS with Turbo C
-
- Rename the file "makefile.tc" to "makefile" and then give the
- command:
-
- C> MAKE
-
-
-
- (4) Other systems
-
- It should suffice simply to compile all the ".c" files and link
- them. The only differences among the versions for different
- operating systems have to do with the use of "/" vs. "-" as an
- option prefix, and the default filename extension ".FOR" vs. ".f".
- Selection among these options is done by defining a macro name for
- each system. The VAX/VMS compiler pre-defines the macro name
- "VMS", while the Turbo C compiler pre-defines "__TURBOC__".
- Compilation without defining either of these macro names is the
- same as compiling with "UNIX" defined.
-
- To allow "/" as an option prefix, you can define the macro name
- "VMS", either as a commandline option to the compiler, or by
- altering the file forchek.h: just remove the commenting-out of
- the appropriate #define command found there. In any case, "-" is
- always allowed as an option prefix.
-
- The default extension ".FOR" is assumed for VMS or Turbo C, ".f"
- for all others, unless you define the macro name
- "DEF_SRC_EXTENSION" otherwise on the compiler commandline or in
- forchek.h. Other default values of Forchek's built-in parameters
- can be similarly modified on the compiler commandline. See
- forchek.h for details.
