1*1ca5c1b2SjwiseThis package contains manual pages groff sources for compilers and tools for
2*1ca5c1b2Sjwisethe FORTRAN programming language, which include:
3*1ca5c1b2Sjwise
4*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	asa - interpret carriage-control characters. The asa utility reads
5*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	files sequentially, mapping FORTRAN carriage-control characters
6*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	to line-printer control sequences, and writes them to the standard
7*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	output;
8*1ca5c1b2Sjwise
9*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	f77, fort77, g77 - GNU project Fortran Compiler (v0.5.24). The C
10*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	and F77 compilers are integrated; g77 is a program to call gcc
11*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	with options to recognize programs written in Fortran (ANSI
12*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	FORTRAN 77, also called F77). gcc processes input files through
13*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	one or more of four stages: prepro- cessing, compilation,
14*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	assembly, and linking. This man page contains full descriptions
15*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	for only F77-specific aspects of the compiler, though it also
16*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	contains summaries of some general-purpose options. For a fuller
17*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	explanation of the compiler, see gcc(1);
18*1ca5c1b2Sjwise
19*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	fpr - print Fortran file utility. fpr is a filter that transforms
20*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	files formatted according to Fortran's carriage control
21*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	conventions into files formatted according to UNIX line printer
22*1ca5c1b2Sjwise	conventions.
