[net.lang] F77 Tool Request

benw@pyuxn.UUCP (09/14/83)

We are doing extensive FORTRAN 77 work on UNIX (USG UNIX 5, VAX AND 3B/20)
and are in need of all the tools and aids we can get (e.g., FSPLIT).
I would like to know about any F77 tools people are using in netland,
for example, cross referencers, tracers ala ctrace, beautifiers, etc.

I would also like to hear about any library routines (C or otherwise) that
people have written, especially system level nifties.  For example,
does anyone have a routine that executes a local GOTO upon receipt of
a signal, instead of calling a function, as "signal" does?

I will post responses to the net.

                                       Thanks,

                                       Ben Weber

I was delighted to see that there are others in netland tying to use f77.
Fortran continues to be a necessary and useful tool to those of us
gathered around utastro. Hundreds of man-years
of effort have gone into developing Fortran data reduction and analysis tools
for astronomy. We continue to prosper through their use.

I would be interested in generating a list of sites with active and
productive f77 users (direct all flames about active, productive, and f77
being mutually incompatible to /dev/null).
