An application note is available that consists of the FORTRAN version 5.1 Setup program in batch files. These batch files provide an alternative to the Setup program shipped with FORTRAN 5.1, for customers having problems installing.
To obtain the application note, "FORTRAN 5.1 Setup Program in Batch Files," call Microsoft Product Support Services.
This application note is also available in the Microsoft Software Library.
The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Software Library:

BUILDLIB.BAT DOS program to build libraries
BUILDLIB.CMD OS/2 program to build libraries
SETUP.BAT DOS Setup program used to install FORTRAN
SETUP.CMD OS/2 Setup program used to install FORTRAN

SETUP2.BAT Second DOS setup batch file called by Setup
SETUP2.CMD Second OS/2 setup command file called by Setup
MICROSOFT FORTRAN 5.1 BATCH SETUP UTILITY
=========================================
To use the batch file, insert the enclosed HF0483 disk in your floppy disk drive and type "setup" (without the quotation marks) at the command prompt using the syntax described in the "Usage Syntax" section below. Setup must be run from the floppy disk drive from which you intend to install FORTRAN (for example, you cannot run Setup from drive A and put the FORTRAN disks in drive B).
NOTE: Do not execute the files SETUP1.BAT or SETUP2.BAT; they
are companion files that are called from SETUP.BAT.
Depending on the option you select, the files copied by Setup will require the following amount of disk space:
9.2 MB (megabyte) if all files are copied
6.1 MB if only DOS files are copied
6.5 MB if only OS/2 files are copied
7.1 MB if only DOS and Windows files are copied
setup <TARGET_SYSTEM> <drive_letter> [<directory_path>]
NOTE: The target system letter must be an uppercase letter.
The optional directory path should be specified with the following syntax:
<top_level_directory> <next_level_directory> <next_level_directory>
Command Result
------- ------
setup D c fortran Copies files for a DOS system onto
the hard drive C in a directory
called FORTRAN with subdirectories
C:\FORTRAN\BINB, C:\FORTRAN\LIB, and
so on
setup A e Copies all files onto the hard drive
E in subdirectories E:\BINB, E:\LIB,
and so on
setup W d mslang fortran f510 Copies files for a DOS and Windows
system onto the hard drive D in a
directory called MSLANG\FORTRAN\F510
with subdirectories
D:\MSLANG\FORTRAN\F510\BINB,
D:\MSLANG\FORTRAN\F510\LIB, and so on
After you run Setup, you must change your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and CONFIG.SYS file so that FORTRAN will run correctly. Please refer to pages 21-23 of the "Microsoft FORTRAN Installing and Using the Professional Development System" guide for information on the required changes.
For example, if you install the FORTRAN files on drive C in a directory named FORTRAN, you should make the following changes to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET PATH=C:\FORTRAN\BINB;C:\FORTRAN\BIN;...<existing PATH>
SET LIB=C:\FORTRAN\LIB
SET TMP=C:\FORTRAN\BINB
SET INIT=C:\FORTRAN\INIT
SET INCLUDE=C:\FORTRAN\INCLUDE
SET HELPFILES=C:\FORTRAN\HELP\*.HLP
HIMEM.SYS allows you to debug programs that approach 640K in size by using extended memory on machines with 286, 386, or 486 CPUs.
To avoid possible conflicts, use RAMDRIVE.SYS for memory disk emulation and SMARTDRV.SYS for disk caching. Other disk emulation and disk caching programs may conflict with HIMEM.SYS.
A more detailed explanation of these three device drivers and memory configuration (expanded versus extended) is located in Chapter 2 of the "Microsoft FORTRAN Installing and Using the Professional Development System" guide on pages 24-25.
MICROSOFT FORTRAN 5.1 COMBINED LIBRARY BUILDING UTILITY
=======================================================
This file should be run from the \LIB subdirectory for FORTRAN 5.1. The Setup batch program copies BUILDLIB.BAT to this directory.
The following assumptions are made:
1. You have the directory that contains LIB.EXE version 3.18 or later
in your PATH environment variable.
libraries to the \LIB\COMP subdirectory, or you manually copied the
required components to the \LIB\COMP subdirectory.
buildlib <library_name>
mLIBFfsc
Placeholder Meaning Values
----------- ------- ------
m Memory model M (medium)
L (large)
f Floating-point math library A (alternate math)
E (emulator)
7 (8087/287/387)
s Operating system R (DOS real mode)
P (OS/2 protected mode)
c C compatibility C (C-compatible library)
[blank] (non-C-compatible
library)
NOTE: If you build a library with C compatibility, routines that
are common between the two languages are LEFT OUT of the FORTRAN
library. This means that you must always link your program with
both the FORTRAN library and its C counterpart.
Name Meaning
---- -------
LLIBF7R Large model, coprocessor math library for DOS
LLIBFER Large model, emulation math library for DOS
LLIBFERC C compatible, large model, emulation math library for DOS
MLIBF7P Medium model, coprocessor math library for OS/2
If you are installing for DOS and are unsure what options to choose, we recommend that you build the LLIBFER library if you do not have a coprocessor on your machine, or the LLIBF7R library if you do have a coprocessor.
The FORTRAN compiler uses a default naming convention different from the BUILDLIB.BAT batch file and the standard Setup program. The convention is
mLIBFORf
You can find more information on library naming conventions and related compiler options on pages 322-326 in Chapter 7 of the "Microsoft FORTRAN Reference" manual.
