ratfor.txt    RATFOR77 preprocessor         posted 2003-08-19
Ported to Minix by Harald Arnesen <harald@skogtun.org>

This is the "RATional FORtran" preprocessor for FORTRAN described in
the original Software Tools book by Brian Kernighan and P. J. Plauger.
This 1976 book is still in print.  

This is a Minix port of RATFOR (Rational Fortran) preprocessor to
complement the f2c translator.

The fc script in the f2c package understands that a file ending in .r
is Ratfor source, and calls the preprocessor.

The complete archive is minix1.hampshire.edu/pub/contrib/ratfor.tar.Z.
As bin, unpack the archive in /usr/local/src to create directory
ratfor/ and then cd there.  To compile the "testw.r" (actually, the
resulting "testw.f"), the f2c binary needs to be chmem'ed to about 256k.
