Can anyone point us at a utility that would perform a modest amount of
automated text editing on fortran source. The intended application is changing
from an old API (Application Program Interface, e.g. library calling
semantics) to a new API. At a minimum we want to be able to replace one name
with another, optionally we would also like to be able to add or delete a
parameter or change its position in a parameter list, or translate a
hard-coded constant to a symbolic constant (parameter in fortran), etc.
Note that because of the difficulty of doing lexical analysis of fortran
source and identifing tokens this is not a simple string replacement operation
such as might be offered by awk or sed in UNIX. Such a utility must have
considerable smarts about the fortran language.
It seems to me that given fortran's long history this must be a common problem
that has had multiple solutions. Can you point us at some of those solutions,
hopefully in the public domain?

I put this in an include file for use by many routines. another option is toolpack, a set of fortran source code transformation tools. For distribution, contact Integrated Systems Technologies at (312)869- 7820 or the Numerical Algorithms Group (usa 312-971-2337 or uk oxford (0865)511245 international +44865 511245). also see references IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering SE-9 #6 Nov 83 P 673. L.J. Osterweil TOOLPACK Funding was provided by the NSF, DOE, and UK Research & Engineering Council. Lastly, Dennis Gannon et others is working on FAUST, a fortran (C?) software development environment with source transformation facilities. This may be available this coming summer. -- Scott| ARPA: lamson@crd.ge.com Lamson| UUCP: uunet!crd.ge.com!lamson (518)387-5795| UUCP: uunet!sierra.crd.ge.com!lamson

I have used for some time "Toolpack" on VAX/VMS. It is a very useful utility. However, I am slowly moving towards UNIX. I got fairly old 1986 Public Domain tape distributed by NAG. It is version 2.1 but it seems that the installation on UNIX box is not trivial (no make file, requires Pascal (?) compiler). I wonder what is the current status of machine specific Toolpack public domain releases (except NAG's commercial version). Would anybody have hacks for a) Titan --- UNIX V b) Sun's ? and experience of installing Toolpack on UNIX ? Is there a newer version than 2.1 and if yes is it available through anonymous login ? Is the installation improved in the new version ? Just out of curiosity, what is the status of Toolpack project, is there anybody still working on it ? Peter flatau@handel.cs.colostate.edu
