RATFOR(CP) XENIX System V RATFOR(CP)
Name
ratfor - Converts Rational FORTRAN into standard FORTRAN.
Syntax
ratfor [ option ... ] [ filename ... ]
Description
ratfor converts a rational dialect of FORTRAN into ordinary
irrational FORTRAN. ratfor provides control flow constructs
essentially identical to those in C:
statement grouping:
{ statement; statement; statement }
decision-making:
if (condition) statement [ else statement ]
switch (integer value) {
case integer: statement
...
[ default: ] statement
}
loops:
while (condition) statement
for (expression; condition; expression) statement
do limits statement
repeat statement [ until (condition) ]
break [n]
next [n]
It also provides some additional syntax to make programs
easier to read and write:
Free form input:
multiple statements/line; automatic continuation
Comments:
# this is a comment
Translation of relationals:
>, >=, etc., become .GT., .GE., etc.
Return (expression)
returns expression to caller from function
Define:
define name replacement
Include:

-h Causes quoted strings to be turned into 27H constructs.
-C Copies comments to the output, and attempts to format
it neatly. Normally, continuation lines are marked
with an & in column 1.
-6x Makes the continuation character x and places it in
column 6.
