------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a highly cutdown version of the ftnchek distribution which is
bundled with Sunsort. In particular all the manual pages and the system
independent stuff has been removed apart from the basic manual which is
now in ../man. Do not distribute this version separately from Sunsort.
If you want the full version either contact S.M.Singer@bham.ac.uk, or
pull it off the web - see the FAQ for the location.

Details that are not relavent to the copy of ftnchek bundled with Sunsort
have been removed.

		   NEW FEATURES
		   ------------

Here are the new features in version 2.10, aside from bug fixes:

	o New flags -f90, -f95, -pointersize.

	o New subflags -f77=array-bounds-expr,assignment-stmt.

	o The -intrinsic and -usage flags now take lists of keywords
	  rather than numeric setting values.  This change allows
	  finer control over the options.  (The old numeric forms
	  are still accepted, and give the same behavior as before.)

	o Sub-options can be specified using a wildcard pattern to
	  match groups of options.

	o All flags can now be turned off with either prefix "no-"
	  or "no".

	o Include file names can now have no extension.  (Formerly a
	  default extension was always added if one was not present.)

	o New file config.h generated by configure from config.h.in to
	  provide machine-dependent parameters.
				[Not bundled with sunsort version - SMS]

	o New file ftnchek.el to provide Emacs users with ftnchek-mode.
	  Written by Judah Milgram <milgram@eng.umd.edu>.
				[Not bundled with sunsort version - SMS]

	o New hypertext form of user manual.
				[Not bundled with sunsort version - SMS]

	o Compilation option LARGE_MACHINE is now the default, so it
	  no longer needs to be defined explicitly when building ftnchek.

	o Improved support for DJGPP, with help from Scott M. Blackman
	  <scott.blackman@vanderbilt.edu>

Bugs fixed:

	o Warning "adjustable size cannot be concatenated here"
	  (standard section 6.2.2 ) was sometimes given when it should
	  not have been.

	o A DO statement having an index variable with a name
	  beginning with DO was not parsed correctly.

	o On systems for which options are prefixed by '/', the
	  /help output listed the options prefixed by '-'.

	o The -usage and -intrinsic flags, if specified in a startup file
	  rather than on the command line, did not take effect unless
	  at least one command-line argument was present.
