It provides control flow constructs essentially identical to those in C. .LP .\" See the .\" .I "Ratfor User's Guide" .\" in the on-line .\" .B READMEs .\" directory .\" for a description of the Ratfor language. The manual is in the form .\" of a PostScript file, called .\" .\" .BR ratfor.ps , .\" which you can view and print with ImageTool. Type: .\" .B "% imagetool ratfor.ps &" .SH OPTIONS .\" .IP \fB\-6\fP\^\fIc\fP Use the character \fIc\fP as the \fBc\fPontinuation character in column \fB6\fP when translating to FORTRAN. The default is to use the \fB&\fP character as a continuation character. .\" .IP \fB\-C\fP Pass Ratfor \fBc\fPomments through to the translated code. .\" .IP \fB\-h\fP Translate Ratfor string constants to \fBH\fPollerith constants of the form \fInnn\fP\|\fBh\fP\|\fIstring\fP. Otherwise, just pass the strings through to the translated code. .\" .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR f77 (1) .LP .\" .I "Ratfor User's Guide"
