Dear Visitors!
Since this year my site is under re-construction. The
new strategy of its developments consists in minimizing of the items number
available for free. Now you could see that I provide for free executable modules
only. All sources of respective programs are available for some cost ( very very
small ). I'm sure that such minimal cost can't be serious problem for
programmers interested in learning FORTRAN programming technology under Windows
95/98/2000/XP. All sources are now well commented, so programmers with minimal
background in programming will not have problems in understanding the code.
Also, my strategy consists in providing simplest samples, which are not
overloaded by other non-necessary details/lines, i.e. if you need to understand
some concrete control, you can find here program dedicated to this control only
.In new versions of samples, some of them were completely rebuilt using new
features of FORTRAN 90 standard.
About tutorials. Unfortunately, I have no time for
writing of such big volume of English documentation, because now I'm working
with Russian versions of these tutorials, which will be published in Russia, as
I hope. So, for readers without problem in reading English, I could provide
concrete advice. I'll save tables of contents of all tutorials on the site, and they can
serve like good pointer onto Microsoft Win32 SDK documentation you need to read.
Of course, MS Win32 SDK dedicated to programming under Windows in C/C++, but it
can provide you the basic terms/ideology of Windows programming. Other details
of concrete programming in FORTRAN you'll find in samples from my site. They can
seriously save your time in seeking/understanding differences in C and FORTRAN
approaches. Actually, each sample can save about 2 hours of your time. From my
practice I know that documentation prepared by me, can save you about 10-20
hours of your life. This documentation was prepared on the base of Microsoft
PowerStation Fortran 4.0 during 3 years! Thus, the only that you must do -
purchase it. 99% of this documentation is acceptable for DVF/CVF users - only
small number of interfaces were changed by DEC/Compaq. Actually, you can
consider "Download" page of my site as "Tutorials in
Samples".
About availability of the sources and documentation.
All items, marked as for "subscribers" ( source codes ) and all
documentation is available from e-mail ONLY. To avoid problems with honesty of
some visitors ( I see some nontrivial attempts to hack server with my homepage
), I don't publish on the site the items available for some cost. They exist on
my local PC at home, not on the site! So, don't spend your time for such
meaningless business, please! Thus, don't worry if you met
the diagnostics "404 File not found" following some link from my page.
Look at it again, please. If there is some price near the link, it means that
you try to give something for free, instead of asking me on purchasing of
selecting item.
Good Luck,
Vladimir V.Vasilchenko
