We (sunw) have developed an "fpp" which is modeled after cpp (to handle our installed base) but with some customizations to make it Fortran friendlier. Our eventual intention is to make this code publically available (as we have fdlibm). The code is not quite ReadyForPrimeTime, but it is useful in it's current state. I have placed it on Richard Maine's server, ftp.dfrf.nasa.gov in the incoming directory (which, as is customary, doesn't show the file name when asked). The file name is fdfpp.tar.Z. Your comments, porting changes, makefile augmentation, etc. are solicited. Since the code is not yet ready for full public distribution, we'd appreciate your not putting the binaries up in the usual obvious places ;> khb Contents: --------- The top level directory for the fpp delivery consists of the following files: README - this file fpp_spec - the specification of fpp Makefile - makefile to build fpp man - directory that has the fpp man page sparc - directory where fpp for sparc-Solaris2.x is built src - fpp source code Building fpp: ------------- To build fpp just run 'make [dir]' where dir is the architecture under which you want to build. 'sparc' is an example of one such architecture. To build for a different architecture, emulate the Makefile under the 'sparc' directory. Documentation: -------------- Two documents for fpp are provided. The first one is fpp_spec, which is the specification of fpp. The second is the man page, fpp.1, in the man/man1 directory. Comments: --------- Send all comments to fpp-comments@param.Eng.sun.com ;;;; The code is not yet lint-free. We've compiled it with both Sun and GCC compilers, and it works as expected with both of them.
