Comparison of BKY-FTN4 and VAX-FORTRAN IV-PLUS
Caspar Horne, B.H. Pardoe · 1978
This note serves as a guide for those who intend to transfer (port) FORTRAN IV programs between the CDC machines at LBL and the VAX. For those porting existing code, this guide should prove helpful by pointing out language constructs which will cause trouble. It should also aid in the development of new software intended to be run on either computer by alerting the programer to incompatible language constructs, and presenting him with a ''minimal language'' which requires only minor alteration to run on either machine. In particular, this note compares the FORTRAN IV dialect FTN4 as implemented on the BKY system at LBL and FORTRAN IV-PLUS on the VAX. (RWR)
