Language Interface: 16-bit Lahey FORTRAN

This is the GPIB language interface for Lahey FORTRAN (version 4.x or 5.x), a DOS programming environment for creating 16-bit applications. Download the Laheyfor.zip file (in the example.zip file, below). This file contains the declaration file DECL.FOR, the language interface file LFIB.OBJ, and some sample programs.


How to Use the 16-bit Lahey FORTRAN Language Interface:

I. Overview

The 16-bit GPIB language interface for Lahey FORTRAN contains the following files:

DECL.FOR: program declarations
LFIB.OBJ: language interface object module

II. Items to Include in Your GPIB Application

You must include the following line at the beginning of your application:
include 'decl.for'

Next you need to link the LFIB.OBJ language interface module to your application.

III. Compiling, Linking, and Running from the DOS Command Line

From the DOS command line, type in the following to compile an application, called yourprog:

f77l YOURPROG

To link the application, called yourprog, with the FORTRAN language interface, LFIB.OBJ, type in:

optlink YOURPROG+LFIB.OBJ;

To run the newly created executable, type in the name of your application on the DOS command line, like so:

yourprog
