1*994be4e9SkamilThis package contains formatted manual pages for compilers and tools for
2*994be4e9Skamilthe FORTRAN programming language, which include:
3*994be4e9Skamil
4*994be4e9Skamil	asa - interpret carriage-control characters. The asa utility reads
5*994be4e9Skamil	files sequentially, mapping FORTRAN carriage-control characters
6*994be4e9Skamil	to line-printer control sequences, and writes them to the standard
7*994be4e9Skamil	output;
8*994be4e9Skamil
9*994be4e9Skamil	f77, fort77, g77 - GNU project Fortran Compiler (v0.5.24). The C
10*994be4e9Skamil	and F77 compilers are integrated; g77 is a program to call gcc
11*994be4e9Skamil	with options to recognize programs written in Fortran (ANSI
12*994be4e9Skamil	FORTRAN 77, also called F77). gcc processes input files through
13*994be4e9Skamil	one or more of four stages: prepro- cessing, compilation,
14*994be4e9Skamil	assembly, and linking. This man page contains full descriptions
15*994be4e9Skamil	for only F77-specific aspects of the compiler, though it also
16*994be4e9Skamil	contains summaries of some general-purpose options. For a fuller
17*994be4e9Skamil	explanation of the compiler, see gcc(1);
18*994be4e9Skamil
19*994be4e9Skamil	fpr - print Fortran file utility. fpr is a filter that transforms
20*994be4e9Skamil	files formatted according to Fortran's carriage control
21*994be4e9Skamil	conventions into files formatted according to UNIX line printer
22*994be4e9Skamil	conventions.
