Aha! I get it now. And for reasons of economy, the console window doesn't appear if there isn't any output for it - or hides itself somewhere, or I wasn't looking in the right place ...

Robert,

Now I am confused.

My FTN95.CHM tells me that the compiler directive WINAPP:

"Creates a Windows executable for use with ClearWin+ (see the ClearWin+ documentation for further in ...

Dan,

I thought that you were the current OpenGL guru.

Ken's guide is terrific, and an excellent contribution. It is, however, a 'work in progress', as I think he'd admit. There are still things ...

While making notes on another post I was reminded of a group (set is too good a word here) of Windows apps that I wrote to support undergraduates taking part in a residential field course to do with t ...

Ken, A useful find. I didn't realise that Consolas was a monospaced font.

Monospaced fonts are great when printing tabulated numerical output: when you lapse into standard Fortran output standard ...

Dan,

As like me you are an oldie, use the single quotes until you want to display a single quote mark. A good example is for degrees, minutes and seconds where you could use "'" for minut ...

Thomas,

It all depends on how you design your forms / dialogs. If you have the same types of controls in rows or columns, then they line up automatically, especially if you arrange then with �boxes ...

Well, Angel's 'OpenGL - A primer,' arrived, and after a little read, I'm �3.15 poorer, and none the wiser; also as it is written with C examples and Websterian dyslexia, it's now also taking up valuab ...

Many thanks Paul and Ken.

I found OpenGL: A primer by Edward Angel at �3.15 on Amazon. It's the 2001 1st edition, not the revised 2007 edition. It may do.

Ken,
Your PDF is exactly what I was t ...

Blimey, Paul, you are up and at it early in the morning!

Yes, the helpfile contents are useful if you are looking for help on things you already know about. But you wouldn't say that FTN95.CHM is e ...

Sid asks an interesting question.

Wouldn't it be nice if some regular user of OpenGL wrote a beginners' guide to OpenGL with FTN95?

Even better, if there was a similarly charitable soul who di ...

I am fascinated by the introduction of new functions like this. What did people do before? What did they name their self-developed functions? Is there any conflict - and do the system functions perfor ...

Ian,

I was surprised by your problem, as for years I have been making controls change size.

Here's a snippet from a program that does just that:

IA = WINIO@('%hw%cc&', KHAND, GE ...

I can beat John, as I have FTN77/386 on 5.25" floppies!

Agreed that the revisions to Fortran have sometimes superceded the need for some extension routines, and also have provided constructs t ...
