    1 = Welcome to Trac 0.9.5 =
     1= FORTRAN/TK =
    22
    3 Trac is a '''minimalistic''' approach to '''web-based''' management of
    4 '''software projects'''. Its goal is to simplify effective tracking and handling of software issues, enhancements and overall progress.
     3== General information ==
    54
    6 All aspects of Trac have been designed with the single goal to
    7 '''help developers write great software''' while '''staying out of the way'''
    8 and imposing as little as possible on a team's established process and
    9 culture.
     5Welcome to the provisional homepage of the Open Source project FORTRAN/TK.[[BR]]
     6FORTRAN/TK is, an easy to learn, powerful cross-platform (OS/2 Warp and Windows 9x/NT) widget toolkit for the [http://www.openwatcom.org/ Open Watcom] FORTRAN/77 compiler. Technically it's a kind of wrapper to [http://rexxtk.sourceforge.net/ Rexx/Tk] by Roger O'Connor and Mark Hessling but it does not rely on a Rexx interpreter. Therefore it's the first FORTRAN implementation of the Tk-toolkit from [http://www.tcl.tk/ Tcl/Tk] so far. All Rexx/Tk functions are already usable from within FORTRAN/TK including some which are not even listed in the [http://rexxtk.sourceforge.net/functions.html Rexx/Tk help]. It also includes about 20 new functions, called FORTRAN/TK extensions, which are neither part of Tcl/Tk nor Rexx/Tk nor Open Watcom FORTRAN. They include functions for file management, file searching, basic support for dynamic DLL handling and the clipboard which are commonly needed to write sophisticated GUI applications.[[BR]]
     7FORTRAN/TK is one of the easiest and most comfortable ways to create graphical user interfaces using the [wiki:fortran FORTRAN programming language]. It even implements features that are not really supported by the Open Watcom FORTRAN compiler at all like variable length argument lists, using some very dirty assembly hacks. Don't ask...[[BR]]
     8For more information, including dependencies, examples and build instructions, please refer to the [source:/trunk/readme.txt readme.txt]. The [ftp://pub.netlabs.org/pub/fortrantk/fortrantk.pdf presentation about FORTRAN/TK] I held at the [http://wiki.netlabs.org/index.php/Developers_Workshop_2005 Developers Workshop 2005] in Dresden is also a good introduction, although it already contains outdated information.

    17 "[wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] ''yourenvdir'' initenv" created
    18 a new Trac environment, containing a default set of wiki pages and some sample
    19 data. This newly created environment also contains
    20 [wiki:TracGuide documentation] to help you get started with your project.

    22 You can use [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] to configure
    23 [http://trac.edgewall.com/ Trac] to better fit your project, especially in
    24 regard to ''components'', ''versions'' and ''milestones''.
     14The history of all official FORTRAN/TK releases may be found in the [source:/trunk/history.txt history.txt].

    27 TracGuide is a good place to start.

    30 ''The Trac Team''
     20The various FORTRAN/TK releases are no real binary releases but more like source distributions. It must be compiled to a fortrantk.lib according to the build instructions. So each release is for OS/2 Warp and Windows 9x/NT. It is necessary to be able to compile FORTRAN/TK itself to compile a FORTRAN/TK program anyway. However the example programs are precompiled for both platforms and necessary runtime libraries are included so you can have a look at it first.

    32 == Starting Points ==
     22 * [ftp://pub.netlabs.org/pub/fortrantk/ftk0.6beta.zip FORTRAN/TK Version 0.6 Beta]
     23 * [ftp://pub.netlabs.org/pub/fortrantk/ftk0.5beta.zip FORTRAN/TK Version 0.5 Beta][[BR]]
     24   FIX: One DLL-library is missing from the runtime-libraries of the OS/2 version to let it run properly. So you have to put it in the "examples\binos2\runtime" directory.[[BR]]
     25   Download it from [ftp://pub.netlabs.org/pub/fortrantk/rexxtran.dll here].

    41 Trac is brought to you by [http://www.edgewall.com/ Edgewall Software],
    42 providing professional Linux and software development services to clients
    43 worldwide. Visit http://www.edgewall.com/ for more information.
     32Currently there is no complete FORTRAN/TK documentation and guide but there are a number of files and homepages you should check out if you do want to write your own FORTRAN/TK programs.
     33
     34 * There's a short tutorial about how to write [wiki:helloworld "Hello world" in FORTRAN/TK].
     35 * As already mentioned, the [source:/trunk/readme.txt readme.txt] contains useful information.
     36 * There are [source:/trunk/examples FORTRAN/TK examples] like a text editor, a calculator and a simple test program.
     37 * The [http://svn.netlabs.org/canabis Canasta card-game Canabis] is based on FORTRAN/TK, too.
     38 * The [source:/trunk FORTRAN/TK sourcecode].[[BR]]
     39   You can find information about already implemented [source:/trunk/fortrantk.fap extended FORTRAN/TK functions] and about [source:/trunk/useful.fap FORTRAN/TK extensions].
     40 * FORTRAN/TK is based on [http://rexxtk.sourceforge.net/ Rexx/Tk], so the [http://rexxtk.sourceforge.net/functions.html Rexx/Tk API] is very similar to the FORTRAN/TK one.
     41 * For detailed information about the Tk-toolkit and its API, you should refer to the [http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.0/ Tcl/Tk 8.0.5 manual].
