	       Ftnchek Version 2.10  Patch Level 1
			  September 1998

Changes made in patch 1:

	o Minor improvements to the documentation.

	o Changed treatment of nonstandard PARAMETER statements
	  lacking parentheses, so that now they are recognized as such
	  as long as they precede the first executable statement.
	  Formerly they were not recognized after the first DATA
	  statement.  Note: standard-conforming PARAMETER statements
	  with parentheses are not affected by this issue.

	o Added new -source option value, 8 for implicitly defining
	  the data type of a parameter from the data type of its
	  value.  Corresponding new options -f77=param-implicit-type
	  and -port=param-implicit-type to warn about this.  The
	  latter only warns if the implicit type differs from the
	  default type that is based on the first letter of the
	  parameter name.  Note: if this -source option is used
	  together with -makedcls=2 (undeclared only), type
	  declarations will *not* be generated for these implicitly
	  typed parameters.  They will be treated as if explicitly
	  typed.

	o Fixed bug: if a parameter not recognized as such due to a
	  syntax error is later used in a context where a parameter is
	  required, it could cause an access violation if -makedcls used.
	  Note that one should not use -makedcls unless the program is
	  accepted by ftnchek without syntax errors, since the results
	  cannot be assured to be complete and correct.

	o Fixed syntax errors that would prevent building ftnchek with
	  a Kernighan & Ritchie (pre-ANSI) C compiler.
