Writing portable fortran programs for microcomputers
Emmanuel Amano Onibere · Software Practice and Experience · 1985
Abstract This paper is concerned with choosing a subset of FORTRAN which will make it possible to write portable programs on medium‐sized microcomputers. To achieve this, some restrictions are placed on ANSI 1966 Standard FORTRAN after studying and analysing a collection of FORTRAN manuals for medium‐sized microcomputers. Some assumptions are made concerning machine dependent constants after a careful observation. By combining these restrictions with those made in compatible Fortran1 and making use of the assumptions, portable programs can be written.
