Message-ID: <5377@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu> Date: 5 Jul 88 21:35:57 GMT Reply-To: sparks@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu (Steve Gaarder) Organization: Computer Aided Design Instructional Facility, Cornell Univ. Lines: 12 I am writing a program in Fortran on a 3020 that needs to do some Unix calls to read and change directories. The usual set of Fortran library routines for the purpose are totally absent from the manual. Do they really not exist, or are they just not documented? Even AT&T("all you get is system V") provides the Fortran routines! Is there a reasonably portable way to make system calls directly from Fortran? -- Steve Gaarder Cornell University, 171 Hollister, Ithaca NY 14853 607-255-5389 UUCP: {cmcl2,shasta,rochester,uw-beaver}!cornell!batcomputer!sparks BITNET: sparks@crnlthry.BITNET ARPA: sparks@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu
