The FORTRAN Programming Tools are a series of tools used to support the
development and maintenance of FORTRAN source codes.  A consistent set of tools
is provided to increase programmer productivity and increase code quality. 
Also included are tools to ease conversion and transfer of files between
computer systems.

Included are debugging aids, source code maintenance aids, a print utility, a
CPU time monitoring program, a NAMELIST-like package, a general purpose filter,
a user-friendly executive subsystem, file management programs, and a library of
useful, well-documented routines.  These tools assist in reducing development
time and encouraging high quality programs.  Many of these tools are not
FORTRAN-specific and may be useful in any environment.

Complete sources are included.  Documentation on magnetic media.
