1.1     ! root        1: .TI F77/INTRO "Sep. 15, 1984"
        !             2: Introduction to the f77 Fortran Compiler
        !             3: 
        !             4: This help file is an introduction to the use of Fortran on the
        !             5: VAX UNIX systems.  For a more tutorial introduction, see "help f77
        !             6: tutorial".
        !             7: 
        !             8: Source files for the f77 compiler must have filenames ending in ".f".
        !             9: To compile and load a program with source contained in the file 'prog.f',
        !            10: type "f77 prog.f". Two files will be created in your directory:
        !            11: 
        !            12: .nf
        !            13:        prog.o          The compiled, relocatable object file.
        !            14:        a.out           The loaded, executable binary file.
        !            15: .fi
        !            16: 
        !            17: To run the program, type "a.out".
        !            18: The general f77 command for source in several files is:
        !            19: 
        !            20:        f77 prog.f sub1.f sub2.f ... subn.f
        !            21: 
        !            22: This command will compile all the named ".f" files (creating a ".o" file for
        !            23: each) and load all the object files together into a single executable file
        !            24: called 'a.out'.
        !            25: 
        !            26: To save time, object files that don't need to be recompiled may be substituted
        !            27: for the corresponding source files in the command above.  For example, if
        !            28: prog.f and sub2.f have been changed since they were compiled, but the other
        !            29: source files have not been changed since last compiled, type:
        !            30: 
        !            31:        f77 prog.f sub1.o sub2.f sub3.o ... subn.o
        !            32: 
        !            33: If all the files ending in '.o' and '.f' in this directory are part of this
        !            34: program, you could simplify this to:
        !            35: 
        !            36:        f77 prog.f sub2.f *.o
        !            37: 
        !            38: For information on options to use with f77, see "help f77 options".
        !            39: For documentation on UNIX and f77, see "help f77 online_doc" and
        !            40: "help f77 printed_doc".
        !            41: For information on what to do if your program crashed,
        !            42: see "help f77 error_msgs" and "help f77 debugging".
        !            43: For a summary of other f77 help files, see "help f77 general".
