- A few of the additional features found in FORTRAN 77
- can be supported in most 8080 FORTRANs. The CHARACTER to
- INTEGER conversions are performed for lengths of 1 and 2 only
- by the RATFOR INCLUDE file F77DEF, which also provides type
- descriptors for the functions on F77LIB which require them.
- There is also an INCLUDE file CONSTS which automatically
- defines some frequently used constants.
- Most of the new standard ("intrinsic") FORTRAN
- functions can be employed by searching the file F77LIB.REL
- which will be created by compiling F77LIB.FOR. The useful
- INDEX function cannot be implemented except by introducing
- a third argument which is the length in characters of the
- string to be found. Preferably, the length of the longer string
- should be passed also. Additional arguments are required on
- most large systems which do not meet the standard.
