FTools

I have collected and am making available g95,
Photran, three books in PDF format, and some
other tools (such as Coco and two multiple
precision packages).

You can buy the CD cheap ($44) at fortran.com.
If you like, think of it as buying the books
and getting the other stuff free; it did take
a bit of time to get all this stuff working
together.

I hope to expand the set of tools and improve
the documentation (I have created some for
Photran, but much more is needed). Suggestions
are most welcome, of course.

To see a little more information about this,
go to fortran.com, enter the Fortran Store
(you don't have to register or buy anything)
and search for FTools.

I'd like to mention that the name FTOOLS has been in use for some time,
for the software package developed and supported by NASA for use in
high-energy astrophysics.

There might be a possibility of confusion in your choice of the name.

(Much of the FTOOLS software has Fortran at its core, BTW, but combined
with C and Perl and such.)

Thanks for creating this. What are the titles of the Fortran books?

Another interesting CD is the "FORTRAN 77/90/95 Compilers libraries
Linux/UNIX Windows" on sale at EBay. It contains the g95, gfortran,
OpenWatcom, and g77 compilers and several libraries such as Lapack and
Slatec.

I should have done a search, but I figured somebody here
would tell me right away if that was a bad name. I don't
care about a catchy "marketing" name, just wanted to be
able to call it something. There is also an fctools. Fortools
is used, but it has nothing to do with Fortran.

How about this: the person that comes up with a name for me
gets a copy of the CD.

The Top 95 book, Programmers Guide to Fortran 95 Using F, and Meissner's
Array & Pointer Techniques book.

Interesting. I recently got an e-mail from Ebay saying I am
banned forever from using EBay because I have violated my
agreement with them, although I have never even looked at it.

I usually just call you Walt, though I suppose I could come up with
alternatives.  :-)

I have been called lots of other things already.

How about the Fortran Companion ? :)

Probably a Phishing scam, or possibly some scammer used your e-mail address
