NAME
altran - language for algebraic manipulation
SYNOPSIS
altran [ option ] ... file ...
DESCRIPTION
Altran compiles the language described in the reference via Fortran as
an intermediate language. The files may have names ending in .al, for
Altran source, .f, for Fortan source, or .o for binary object files.
The output normally includes a .f file for each .al file, a .o file for
each old or new .f file, an executable file a.out, and a listing file
whose name ends in .list for each .al file.
All the options of f77(1) and ld(1) are accepted with the same mean‐
ings.
The executable a.out file accepts two parameters. One is of the form
p=n where n is the number of decimal digits of precision to be used for
long integers, 18<=n<=900, default 18. The other parameter is of the
form w=n where n is the workspace size in thousands of words,
10<=n<=800, default 50.
