This version of the tutorial on Fortran 90 can be used on UNIX, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Apple Macintosh. It has only relative links for all files which are direct part of the tutorial, and uses absolute links only for external Web-pages.
The reason is that it should be possible to use the book without any telephone or network connection.
When I wish to use the system locally I just disconnect the electric power to my external modem. If I am already running Web on the net, I close the connection with closing the supervising program, usually trumpet.
Files in HTML on PC under MS-DOS are supposed to end with .htm, but most Web-browsers also permit call of files using the usual UNIX-extension .html. The addresses have therefore not been changed from the previous UNIX version in this respect.
Since we use a few short program examples and data files in the package we recommend the user to put the following file extensions: .dat .f .f90 .p .txt (and no extension) to be displayed as text in the Web-browser.
The system has a few differences compared with on a UNIX-system:
For a complete paragraph, however, it works fine with <pre>.
I recommend the following setting of the fonts:
To switch color improves the readability, but it is not very beautiful.
If you chose the font Courier New, which is a nice teletype font, some lines will be messed up, some words will be overwritten.
All suggestions for a better solution are welcome. One good solution is to use Netscape!
The reason for this problem is probably that the revised Mosaic tests for World Wide connection, before starting.
With the modem turned on, the revised Mosaic works well.
A work-around is available. Add the following two lines to the windows\system.ini file:
[DEBUG] OUTPUTTO=NUL
An additional problem is that the system crashes (has to be rebooted) if you, while without a network connection, click on an external link.
All these problems also apply to NCSA Mosaic 2.1.1. The problem with having to reboot after an attempt to connect to an external link in local mode has however been solved. If you wait for a while you will get the error message "HTAccess: Error accessing". If you then click on OK you can proceeed.
The teletype font works fine. Everything works fine also on UNIX.
There is a problem with the Swedish characters, which appear as Russian characters, because the wrong fonts are being used. This is not a major problem with the English version of the tutorial.
The blank character after & in columns 3 and 4 is put there in order to prevent Mosaic from converting into Swedish characters as in column 1.

No changes so far.
Main page, with links to all other pages is f77to90.html. Pictures are in the subdirectory gifs and source code in the subdirectory code. The chapters are c(digit).html and the appendices are a(digit).html. All other document names are self explanatory, except fortran.html, which includes external links to other Fortran documents.
On your computer you put the file f77to90.zip on the directory where you wish the subdirectory f77to90 to be created. There you give the command pkunzip -d f77to90.zip on MS-DOS and unzip f77to90.zip on UNIX. You then get the files installed on one directory with the HTML-files, one subdirectory gifs with pictures and one subdirectory code with the source code.
Under Windows 95 you have to use the program WinZip for Windows 95 in order to manage the long filenames. On Macintosh you unpack with the program Zipit, with the alternative "conversion to PC-files" switched off.
You can now also obtain the tutorial as a self-extracting file under Windows 95 using anonymous ftp from the computer ftp.nsc.liu.se on the file pub/bibliotek/f77to90.exe.
If you have received the file on an MS-DOS diskette from me I name the file F7TO9TAR.Z. On your computer you put this file (with the new name f77to90.tar.Z) on the directory where you wish the subdirectory f77to90 to be created. There you give the commands uncompress f77to90.tar.Z followed with tar xvf f77to90.tar on UNIX. You then get the files installed on one directory with the HTML-files, one subdirectory gifs with pictures and one subdirectory code with the source code.
