Chapter 1 Summary of Visual Fortran Software Components and Packaging

---

This chapter contains the following sections:

• 1.1, Visual Fortran Software Components
• 1.2, Visual Fortran Packaging

1.1 Visual Fortran Software Components

Compaq Visual Fortran is available in three editions:

• Standard Edition
• Professional Edition
• Enterprise Edition

1.1.1 Components in All Three Editions

All three editions contain the following software components:

• Compaq Visual Fortran compiler (Fortran 95/90 language) and run-time system.

For more information, see Section 7.2, Compaq Fortran Language.

• Compaq Visual Fortran library routines.

For more information, see Section 7.13.1, Visual Fortran and Array Visualizer Library Routines.

• Microsoft visual development environment and integrated set of tools.

For more information, see Chapter 6, Using Visual Fortran.

• Visual Fortran command-line interface.

For more information, see Section 7.3, Using the Command-Line Interface.

• Compaq Extended Math Library (CXML), which consists of a group of math libraries for use in many different types of scientific and engineering applications.

For more information, see Section 7.4, Using Compaq Extended Math Library (CXML).

• Mixed-Language Programming with Visual C++ and Visual Basic.

For more information, see Section 7.5, Mixed-Language Programming Support with Visual C++ and Visual Basic.

• Fortran Module Wizard to simplify the use of functionality available with Component Object Module (COM) and Automation (OLE Automation) objects.

For more information, see Section 7.11, Support for COM and Automation Objects: Fortran Module Wizard.

• HTML Help Viewer to let you view a complete set of online documentation, providing help for every stage of the code development process.

For more information, see Chapter 9, Using the HTML Help Viewer.

• VF Reporter, an automated, simple, e-mail mechanism for reporting suspected problems or sending suggestions to the Visual Fortran team.

For more information, see Chapter 11, Using the VF Reporter Tool.

• Array Viewer, a demo subset of the Compaq Array Visualizer that lets you view array files.

For more information, see Section 7.7, Using the Array Visualizer.

• f90SQL-lite from Canaima Software. f90SQL is a library that makes it possible for Fortran applications to directly read and write data stored in databases that are compliant with the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) API such as Excel, Microsoft Access, and Oracle.

For more information, see Section 7.9, Using f90SQL-lite.

Note:

These are the major components of Visual Fortran. For a more complete list of features, see Chapter 7, Product Highlights.

1.1.2 Additional Components in the Professional and Enterprise Editions

The Professional Edition and Enterprise Edition contain the following additional components:

• Compaq Array Visualizer, which lets you view array data and graph it in one of multiple views. The Array Visualizer includes two ActiveX controls, Array Visualizer library routines, and the ability to view arrays with Array Viewer in the debugger.

For more information, see Section 7.7, Using the Array Visualizer.

• IMSL Libraries for Visual Fortran, which include the IMSL Fortran 90 MP Library and the IMSL FORTRAN 77 Mathematical and Statistical Libraries. The IMSL libraries are from Visual Numerics.

For more information, see Section 7.8, Using the IMSL Libraries (Professional and Enterprise Editions).

• Fortran COM server wizard, which allows you to create COM servers in Fortran.

For more information, see Section 7.12, Support for Creating COM Servers (Professional and Enterprise Editions).

1.1.3 Additional Components in the Enterprise Edition

The Enterprise Edition contains the following additional components:

• Enterprise Toolkit, a suite of tools that extends the reach of the Visual Fortran visual development environment to let you code, build, and debug applications on Compaq Tru64 UNIX and other UNIX and Linux systems.

For more information, see Section 7.10, Using Enterprise Toolkit and Technical Programming Extensions (Enterprise Edition).

• Technical Programming Extensions (TPE), which enhances the Enterprise Toolkit to make the job of developing Fortran applications easier.

For more information, see Section 7.10, Using Enterprise Toolkit and Technical Programming Extensions (Enterprise Edition).

1.2 Visual Fortran Packaging

Your Visual Fortran kit contains the printed Compaq Fortran Language Reference Manual, this guide in printed form, the license letter, and certain CD-ROMs.

The CD-ROMs you receive depends on which edition you have purchased:

• Standard Edition, see Section 1.2.1, CD-ROMs for Standard Edition
• Professional Edition, see Section 1.2.2, CD-ROMs for Professional Edition
• Enterprise Edition, see Section 1.2.3, CD-ROMs for Enterprise Edition

For information about the printed manuals, see Section 8.1, Printed (Hardcopy) Documentation.

The Compaq Visual Fortran Software Product Description (SPD) is available on the CD-ROM in the root directory. The file is named Cvf_spd_66.txt.

If you have questions about your kit or problems using your CD-ROMs, you can contact Visual Fortran technical support. See Chapter 10, Visual Fortran Technical Support.
