Ratfor was invented by Brian Kernigham. Statements +on a line may be separated by a ";". Statements may be grouped +together with braces }. Do loops do not require statement numbers +because {} defines the range, etc. The Fortran relational operators +.gt.,.ge,.ne., etc. may be written >,<=,!=,etc. All of these are +translated into Fortran 77 by Ratfor. Ratfor also frees you from +Fortran's strict indentation rules. Anything from a # to the end of +the line is a comment. |
