1241.0. "Fortan for Alpha will remove F77 if only F90 selected" by CSC32::D_SANFORD () Wed Mar 26 1997 12:40
OpenVMS Alpha V6.2
Digital Fortran 77 V7.1-107
A customer who was currently using Fortran V6.3 wanted to just install
Digital Fortran 90 V7.1-330 to perform some testing before upgrading
to Fortran 77 V7.1, but when selecting NO for the Fortran 77 compiler
the installation will REMOVE the FORTRAN command VERB. It would be
preferred to keep the current compiler.
To work around this problem we recommend copying the existing compiler
(not sure if we try to delete it), installing the Fortran 77 compiler
and using a lgoical name. For DEC Fortran V6.3:
$ COPY SYS$SYSTEM:DEC_FORTRAN.EXE -
SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]DEC_FORTRAN-V063.EXE
$ DEFINE FORT$MAIN SYS$SYSTEM:DEC_FORTRAN-V063.EXE
I don't really see this as a problem with Fortran, it would just be
nice to be able to install one component while leaving the other
intact. The installation does not say that the current F77 compiler
will be removed if you continue.

| We'll look into this and reply here when we understand what's going on and how
to get just one {f77 xor f90} installed.

| This is a result of the way PCSI does installations - I'm not sure we
can do much about it. The workaround of copying the old F77 compiler
is fine. I'll see if there's anything I can do in the installation
to help with this.
