I just picked up an interesting-looking book from our library:
@BOOK{jones-88-fortran,
AUTHOR = {Russell K. Jones and Tracy Crabtree},
TITLE = {Fortran Tools},
PUBLISHER = {John Wiley and Sons},
YEAR = {1988},
NOTE = {ISBN: 0 471 61976 0 LC: QA76.73.F25J66 1989}
}
It is in many respects similar to Kernighan & Plaugher's 'Software
Tools' books, but has (among other things)
A preprocessor very much like the C-preprocessor
A lexical analyzer and a small compiler with a virtual machine
in Fortran. Both of these caught my eye.
The book is aimed at VMS and MS-DOS users. The preface says that
machine-readable sources can be purchased, though I don't know the
cost.
Questions:
1) Has anyone read it yet who might be willing to review (in email or
on the net) it read it yet? If not, and IF I get a chance to read
it in the next two weeks, I'll review it (assuming others are
interested).
2) Has anyone got their machine-readable sources? Errors or problems
in using them? Outside of VMS or MS-DOS environments?
Thanks.
