The author is preparing a sample program and I will aim to make it available on this thread.

I tried this example and got totally empty screen. Produced SVG file i do not know how to see, none of my browsers show anything inside this file (Edge, Opera, Chrome, Firefox, Brave).

MicTEX produces image of formula on screen and in pdf file.

Full version of FTN95, June 6 update

/* This might be also because i hate TEX and TEX hates me.

We all have bad habits, this is given by DNA probably. I for example make billions of typos and recompilations. This is possibly why i like FTN95 - i find it smarter than me in cleaning my Fortran sources.

But within SF also exists bad tradition started with the Salford FTN90 in 90th to issue half-cooked software and let users report the bugs and polish its rough edges. Anyone in SF team worked on FTN90 ? This person/people have to pay attention to their bad habit and triple check everything before issuing anything new for consumers. I can also offer quality control via my codes-- send me your new versions and if my codes (which in 30 years with this compiler and 40 years total collect both legacy and new sources and use VAX extensions, something from old DBOS, Clearwin+, OpenGL in their 300 000 lines) are compiled and work OK -- then chances are that all is OK

The authors (whose names I have not mentioned) are still working on this.

I suggest that we wait. I don't think that it will be long now. Any extra admin just slows down the development.

Unfortunately it has proved necessary to make changes to salflibc.dll and clearwin64.dll relating to TEX files. This means that we will need to wait until we have stable versions of these DLLs before providing an update on this topic.

My information is that this is working as intended in the v8.61 release.
