Greetings!
I have a question: can Fortran programs be compiled to take command line
arguments like C, with or without some tricks? In other words, can I have
a.out -argument(s) ?
Thank you very much in advance!raw@math.arizona.edu (Rich Walters) (03/11/90)

The FORTRAN on SUN's (UNIX) has a (non-standard) function called getopt that returns the command line arguments kinda like C. There is also a very nice C function called optarg (?). Try reading the man page intro(3F). It should list any non-standard functions/porcedures like this.
