Ratfor - Installation on George 3

All the source is available in a NEWCOPYIN format magnetic tape image: (5250002,RATTAPE).

To install Ratfor from source:

  1. Download the tape, copy the tape image to your tapes directory.
  2. On George, create a new directory, and make it the current directory:
    10.46.01← MK RATFOR
    10.46.02← DY RATFOR
    
  3. Use NEWCOPYIN to read the file NEWCOPYINPAR from the tape, then copy in all the files listed in NEWCOPYINPAR:
    10.46.03← NEWCOPYIN (5250002),TRAPOPEN
    ← NEWCOPYINPAR
    ← ****
    ...
    10.46.04← NEWCOPYIN (5250002),TRAPOPEN,*CR NEWCOPYINPAR
    ...
    10.46.05← 
    
  4. Run the macro MAKERAT (in a background job if you feel like it).
    10.46.06← RJ RATMAKE,MAKERAT
    
  5. When the compilation has finished log in as user :LIB and run the macro INSTALL in the ratfor directory:
    10.46.07← LN :LIB,RATS
    PASSWORD← XXXX
    10.46.08← DY :XXXX.RATFOR
    10.46.09← INSTALL
    
  6. Now log in as MACROS and re-run the install script:
    10.46.07← LN :MACROS,RATS
    PASSWORD← XXXX
    10.46.08← DY :XXXX.RATFOR
    10.46.09← INSTALL
    
That's it, now RATFOR is installed.

The RATFOR macro takes the same arguments as the George 3 FORTRAN macro but preprocesses the source with Ratfor before running the FORTRAN compiler.

The details of how the program was ported to George can be found here.
