Raw Normal View History

Ratfor is a preprocessor for Fortran code that allows the use C-like
flow expressions. Ratfor was invented by Brian Kernigham. Statements
on a line may be separated by a ";". Statements may be grouped
together with braces }. Do loops do not require statement numbers
because {} defines the range, etc. The Fortran relational operators
.gt.,.ge,.ne., etc. may be written >,<=,!=,etc. All of these are
translated into Fortran 77 by Ratfor. Ratfor also frees you from
Fortran's strict indentation rules. Anything from a # to the end of
the line is a comment.
