1.0  COMPILATION COMMAND

FORTRAN command string to compile one or more source files:

        @FORTRA
        FORTRAN>srcfile1+srcfile2+srcfile3.../switch/switch...

Multiple source files in a compilation command act as if all
source files were appended together prior to the beginning of
the compilation.


SWITCH          DEFAULT         MEANING
----------      -------         -------
/ABORT            OFF   Exit compiler after this compilation if fatal
                          errors occur
/BINARY or        ON    Produce an object file
/BINARY:objfile
/CROSS-REFERENCE  OFF   Generate a cross reference listing
/DEBUG or         OFF   Enable all debugging features
/DEBUG:ALL
/DEBUG:ARGUMENTS  OFF   Perform link-time type-checking on subprogram
                          arguments
/DEBUG:BOUNDS     OFF   Generate array and substring bounds checking code
/DEBUG:DIMENSIONS OFF   Generate array dimension info for FORDDT
/DEBUG:INDEX      OFF   Force do loop indices to be stored in memory
/DEBUG:LABELS     OFF   Label each source line for FORDDT
/DEBUG:TRACE      OFF   Generate FORDDT references for its trace feature
/DFLOATING        ON    Generate normal range for DOUBLE PRECISION
                          exponents
/ECHO-OPTION      OFF   Echo switches selected from SWITCH.INI
/ERRORS           ON    Display error messages on TTY
/EXPAND           OFF   Add object file output in octal to listing
/F66              OFF   FORTRAN 66 rules for DO loops and EXTERNAL
                          statements
/F77              ON    FORTRAN 77 rules for DO loops and EXTERNAL
                          statements
/GFLOATING        OFF   Generate extended range for DOUBLE PRECISION
                          exponents
/INCLUDE          OFF   Compile as if D in column 1 were space
/LISTING or       OFF   Produce a listing
/LISTING:listfile
/LNMAP            OFF   Add line number/octal location map to listing if
                          MACHINE-CODE switch not present
/MACHINE-CODE     OFF   Add machine language translation to listing
/NOOPTION         OFF   Do not read SWITCH.INI
/NOWARNINGS or    OFF   Suppress all warning messages
/NOWARNINGS:ALL
/NOWARNINGS:xxx   OFF   Suppress warning message %FTNxxx
/OPTIMIZE         OFF   Perform global optimization
/OPTION:option    OFF   Only read lines from SWITCH.INI that start with
                          FORTRA:option
/SYNTAX           OFF   Perform syntax compilation only
/WARNINGS         ON    Display all warning messages


The /CROSS-REFERENCE, /LNMAP, and /MACHINE-CODE switches imply /LISTING.
The /NOLISTING switch implies /NOCROSS-REFERENCE, /NOLNMAP, and
/NOMACHINE-CODE.

The default device is DSK: for all filespecs in a compilation command.

The name of the last source file is used as the default name of the
object and listing files.  If the last source file does not have a name
(e.g. TTY:), FORTRAN-OUTPUT is used as the default filename.

The default extension is .REL for the object file.  The default extension
is .LST for the listing file if /CROSS-REFERENCE was not specified and
.CRF if /CROSS-REFERENCE was specified.


2.0  /TAKE COMMAND

Command to process one or more FORTRAN commands from an indirect command
file:

        FORTRAN>/TAKE:filespec

or to have commands from indirect command file echoed:

        FORTRAN>/TAKE:filespec /ECHO

Indirect command files may nest up to ten levels deep.

DSK: is used as the default device of the indirect command file, and .CMD
is used as its the default extension.


3.0  /RUN COMMAND

Command to run another program in this fork:

        FORTRAN>/RUN:filespec

or to run a program in this fork starting at a specified offset from its
start address:

        FORTRAN>/RUN:filespec /OFFSET:offset

SYS: is used as the default device in the filespec, and .EXE is used as
the default extension.


4.0  /HELP COMMAND

Command to list this file:

        FORTRAN>/HELP


5.0  /EXIT COMMAND

Command to exit FORTRA:

        FORTRAN>/EXIT
