A free AbsoftTools Winteracter plugin is now available. Winteracter is a Fortran 9x user interface and graphics toolset which enables implementing a modern graphical user interface in a familiar Fortran-specific context. Created through a collective effort of Winteracter/ISS Ltd and Absoft engineers, the AbsoftTools Winteracter plugin supports developing Winteracter programs inside the AbsoftTools integrated development environment. Versions of the plugin are available for use on Windows, OS X and Linux platforms. The plugin supports both 32 and 64 bit development.
After installation, the plugin adds a Winteracter option to the Libraries/Tools tab in the AbsoftTools Project Options dialog. A simple click on the checkbox configures your project for use with Winteracter. The plugin supplies all the information required to compile and link Winteracter projects. It also enables automatic launching of the Winteracter resource editor as needed for resource files.
A current installation of the Winteracter is required in order to use the AbsoftTools plugin. Winteracter is available for purchase directly from Absoft. More information is available here.
The minimum version of Absoft Pro Fortran required to use the plugin is Absoft Pro Fortran 2016 with service pack 2.
The SLATEC Common Math Library is a collection of 1400 Fortran subroutines developed by United States government research labs. It contains mathematical and statistical routines for use in a variety of applications.
Free for all Pro Fortran 2016 platforms
Absoft has created pre-compiled and easy to install packages for using SLATEC with Absoft Pro Fortran 2016. The libraries have been optimized and validated on Windows, OS X and Linux. All SLATEC installations include HTML documentation, libraries (both 32 and 64 bit where appropriate) and a plugin component for use in AbsoftTools projects. The Absoft SLATEC packages are available at no cost to all users of Absoft Pro Fortran 2016.
