FTN95 Help System Overview
Silverfrost FTN95: Fortran for Windows is a 32-bit Fortran compiler for computers using a Microsoft Windows® operating system. It is comprised of several parts including:
a Fortran 95 compiler, linker, debugger, Integrated Development Environment (IDE), documentation, ClearWin+, a run-time library and assorted tools.
Fortran compiler
The Fortran compiler is the heart of FTN95. It takes Fortran source files and turns them into something that a PC can run.
|
Linker
The linker, slink, takes the output from the compiler and combines with the run-time library to produce an executable. The linker quite often does its work silently
and is hidden by tools like Plato.
|
Debugger
Sdbg is the debugger you would usually use to debug FTN95 compiled programs.
|
Plato
Plato is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) which will allows you to set up projects, edit source files, compile and debug your FTN95 programs.
|
ClearWin+
ClearWin+ is a library of functions and subroutines that enables Fortran developers to produce Microsoft Windows® applications very quickly.
|
Run-time library
The run-time library is a collection of subroutines and functions that you can use in your programs.
|
.NET Support
In addition to regular Windows applications FTN95 can also compile Fortran for Microsoft .NET.
