RATFOR(1)               COMMAND REFERENCE               RATFOR(1)



NAME
     ratfor - rational FORTRAN dialect

     FORTRAN is optional.

SYNOPSIS
     ratfor [ -h ][ -C ][ -6 ][ 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
                       next

          Free form input:
                       multiple statements/line; automatic continuation

          Comments:    # this is a comment

          Translation of relationals:
                       >, >=, etc., become .GT., .GE., and so forth.

          Return (expression):
                       returns expression to caller from function

          Define:      define name replacement

          Include:     include filename

     Ratfor is best used with efl(1) and f77(1).

OPTIONS
     -h Converts a string `...' to 27h....

     -C Generates comments in the output.
