NAME
rc - Ratfor compiler
SYNOPSIS
rc [ option ] [ file ] ...
DESCRIPTION
_R_c invokes the Ratfor preprocessor on a set of Ratfor source
files. It accepts three types of arguments:
Arguments whose names end with `.r' are taken to be Ratfor
source programs; they are preprocessed into Fortran and com-
piled. Each subroutine or function `name' is placed on a
separate file _n_a_m_e._f, and its object code is left on _n_a_m_e._o.
The main routine is on _M_A_I_N._f and _M_A_I_N._o; block data subpro-
grams go on _B_L_O_C_K_D_A_T_A?._f and _B_L_O_C_K_D_A_T_A?._o. The files
resulting from a `.r' file are loaded into a single object
file _f_i_l_e._o, and the intermediate object and Fortran files
are removed.
The following flags are interpreted by _r_c. See _l_d and _f_c(1)
for other flags.
-c Suppresses the loading phase of the compilation, as
does any error in anything.
-f Save Fortran intermediate files. This is primarily
for debugging.
-r Ratfor only; don't try to compile the Fortran. This
implies -f and -c.
-v Don't list intermediate file names while compiling.
-C Preserve comments in output, and format esthetically
(indentation, mostly).
-6x Place continuation character in column 6, instead of
non-standard convention used by _f_c(1).
Arguments whose names end with `.f' are taken to be Fortran
source programs; they are compiled in the normal manner.
(Only one Fortran routine is allowed in a `.f' file.)
Other arguments are taken to be either loader flag argu-
ments, or Fortran-compatible object programs, typically pro-
duced by an earlier _r_c run, or perhaps libraries of
Fortran-compatible routines. These programs, together with
the results of any compilations specified, are loaded to
produce an executable program with name a.out.
