+Ftnchek (short for Fortran checker) is designed to detect certain
+errors in a Fortran program that a compiler usually does not.  ftnchek
+is not primarily intended to detect syntax errors.  Its purpose is to
+assist the user in finding semantic errors.  Semantic errors are legal
+in the Fortran language but are wasteful or may cause incorrect
+operation.  For example, variables which are never used may indicate
+some omission in the program; uninitialized variables contain garbage
+which may cause incorrect results to be calculated; and variables
+which are not declared may not have the intended type.  ftnchek is
+intended to assist users in the debugging of their Fortran program.
+It is not intended to catch all syntax errors.  This is the function
+of the compiler.  Prior to using ftnchek, the user should verify that
+the program compiles correctly.
