RC 01-NOV-80 RC NAME rc - ratfor compiler SYNOPSIS rc [-c] [-r] [-f] [-v] [-o] file ... DESCRIPTION rc is the ratfor compiler. It accepts the following types of arguments: 1. Files whose names end in '.r' are assumed to be ratfor source programs; they are preprocessed into fortran and compiled. The preprocessed file for name.r is placed on name.f and the compiled object code appears on name.obj. The name.f file is removed unless -f is specified (see below). 2. Five flags which affect the actions of the compiler are: -c suppress the loading phase, as does any preprocessing or compilation error -r ratfor only; don't compile fortran; implies -f and -c -f save fortran intermediate files; usually for debugging purposes -v verbose option; prints name of each file as it is preprocessed and prints name of each '.f' file as it is compiled -o generates fortran listing for name.f on name.l 3. Files whose names end in '.f' are assumed to be fortran source programs, and are compiled. Other arguments are assumed to be loader flags, or object files, typically created by an earlier rc or fc run. These files, together with the results of any compilations, are loaded to produce an executable process. SEE ALSO rat4, the ratfor preprocessor, for descriptions of the language and for a more general way of performing the preprocessing. fc, the fortran compiler ld, the loader, for loader flags and process naming conventions AUTHOR Joe Sventek wrote the interface of rc to rat4, fc, and ld.
