Compile, Link and Run a FORTRAN program

• A Perkin Elmer FORTRANVII reference manual and user guide can be found in the documentation bay in room D102 on the first floor of the INT building.
• To Compile a FORTRAN program use:

  FORT FILE,DEV:           or

  FORTOPT FILE,DEV:    for the optimized version

  Here, FILE is the filename of the source code. It MUST have file extension `.FTN', but this specification does NOT appear in the FORT or FORTOPT commands. The `DEV:' specification refers to the output device for the process. It can be omitted, for no output if you are very confident, or be either:

• Similarly, after successful compilation, you link a program with:

  LINK FILE,DEV:

  If you have several files to LINK you can put them in a LINKFILE.LNK file and when linking this file, the LINK task will properly find all files specified.

• After a successful link then have fun with:

  LO(AD) FILE
  ST(ART)
