ALTRAN(1) (alice) ALTRAN(1)
NAME
altran - language for algebraic manipulation
SYNOPSIS
altran [ option ] ... file ...
DESCRIPTION
Altran compiles the language described in the reference via
Fortran as an intermediate language. The files may have
names ending in .al, for Altran source, .f, for Fortan
source, or .o for binary object files. The output normally
includes a .f file for each .al file, a .o file for each old
or new .f file, an executable file a.out, and a listing file
whose name ends in .list for each .al file.
All the options of f77(1) and ld(1) are accepted with the
same meanings.
The executable a.out file accepts two parameters. One is of
the form p=n where n is the number of decimal digits of pre-
cision to be used for long integers, 18<=n<=900, default 18.
The other parameter is of the form w=n where n is the
workspace size in thousands of words, 10<=n<=800, default
50.
