.sh NAME
rc \*- Ratfor compiler

.sh DESCRIPTION
.it Rc
invokes the Ratfor preprocessor on a set of Ratfor source files.
It accepts three types of arguments:
.s3
Arguments whose names end with `.r' are taken to be
Ratfor source programs; they are 
preprocessed into Fortran and compiled.
Each subroutine or function `name' is placed on a separate file
.it name.f,
and its object code is left on
.it name.o.
The main routine is on
.it MAIN.f
and
.it MAIN.o;
block data subprograms go on
.it blockdata?.f
and
.it blockdata?.o.
The files resulting from a `.r' file are
loaded into a single object file
.it file.o,
and the intermediate object and Fortran files are removed.
.s3
The following flags are interpreted by
.it rc.
See
.it "ld (I)"
for load-time flags.
.s3
.lp +6 5
\fB\*-c\fR	Suppresses the loading phase of the compilation,
as does any error in anything.
.s3
.lp +6 5
\fB\*-f\fR	Save Fortran intermediate files.
This is primarily for debugging.
.s3
.lp +6 5
\fB\*-r\fR	Ratfor only; don't try to compile the Fortran.
This implies
.bd \*-f
and
.bd \*-c.
.s3
.lp +6 5
\fB\*-v\fR	Don't list intermediate file names while compiling.
.i0
.dt
.s3
Arguments whose names end with `.f' are taken to be
Fortran source programs;
they are compiled in the normal manner.
(Only one Fortran routine is allowed in a `.f' file.)
Other arguments
are taken
to be either loader flag arguments, or Fortran-compatible
object programs, typically produced by an earlier
.it rc
run,
or perhaps libraries of Fortran-compatible routines.
These programs, together with the results of any
compilations specified, are loaded
to produce an executable program with name
.bd a.out.
