[comp.sys.amiga] Absoft Fortran

Greeting netters,

I'm having problems with getting my Absoft Fortran up and running.
I think the problem involves the location of f77.rl or other
libraries that the compiler needs.  I have f77.rl now in l:.  Here's what I
have done:

1) Put f77, f77l, and f77lib in dh0:bin (which is in my path).
2) Put f7700?.fc (?= 1--4) in l: along with init.sc as requested  by the
  "manual."
3) Put f77.rl in l: (l: == dh0:l)
4) Made a directory dh1:fortran and put the other stuff from the
  disk here.
5) CD'd to dh1:fortran and put my program there.
6) I compiled a program with f77 -u*z50 llsp.f and got program llsp.
7) I run llsp and it immediately asks for some input, then crashes directly
  afterward.
8) I then try and link the program with f77.rl but can't quite get it.  It
  either crashes during the link process or tells me it can't find a file.

The manual is very unclear to me.  If I don't link after compiling, it
loads the appropriate libraries during runtime (so the manual says) - what
are these libraries and where should they be?
And how do I use the linker (f77l) to get linked stand-alone code?

I am running this on a stock A1000 with 1.5MB (Cltd. Amega board) with a 
ToolBox and Flash Card controller (both p.o.s.) and a Quantum drive.

I've had this compiler for a while, have never been notified of any
updates, and haven't ever mastered it, but I recently find a serious need
for it so I am trying again. I would appreciate your help!


Thanks much,
Scot
