DLL

Hi Again Paul: I did as you said, used the latest FTN program, vers. 5.4, went into the project file, renamed the 'salflibc.dll' file to 'salflibcbak.dll, copied the salflibc WIN7 DLL file to the project file, renamed it to 'salflibc.dll'. I then opened PLATO3, opened my project file again, did a 'rebuild', the system compiled all routines with no error code but when it went to execute, it issued the error 'target does not exist'. It looks very promising that it compiled with no errors but now how do I point the system to the .exe file, i.e. 'the target'? Sid Kraft

I still cannot work out what is going wrong here. I would need direct access to your machine to take this any further.

The only thing that I can suggest is that you begin by working at a lower level. By this I mean using the command line to compile and link instead of using Plato. It is not as difficult as it may sound. Start with a very simple program and use the help file to find out how to call FTN95 and SLINK from a comand prompt window (DOS box).

e.g. if you have a program in one file called prog.f95 then issue the following to create prog.exe in the same folder.

FTN95 prog.f95

SLINK lo prog file
