Subject: Re: [H390-DOSVS] BUFF40 jcl/documentation Fortran? From an old yahoo groups message: "There is no doc other than what you find in the source code. BUFF40 is
a student "compile & go" system designed for high performance on small
programs. It does not generate an object deck. The language supported
is also a slight variant on standard FORTRAN IV (for example, in a few
cases blanks are significant, whereas in proper FORTRAN IV they never
are). This was done in order to catch and try to correct many common
student errors and allow execution to proceed. This was from a time
when a student would typically submit his program on punch cards and
get output back the next day, so it was frustrating to make a simple
typo and have no execution." ? I have BUFF40 compiling and linking via dos/vs.? Does anyone have
any jcl and/or documentation on how to run and use this code.
Thank you
