─────FL Filespec Arguments──────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     The FL command can process source files, object files, or a
     combination of source and object files. FL uses the file-name
     extension to determine what kind of processing the file needs.
 
     Extension     FL Action
 
     .FOR          Compiles the file
     .OBJ          Invokes the linker
     .LIB          Invokes the linker
     .DEF          Invokes the linker
     .ASM          Invokes MASM
 
     If the extension is omitted, FL assumes the file is an object
     file unless the file name is part of a /Tf option. If the file
     name appears in a /Tf option, FL assumes the file is a FORTRAN
     source file.
 
     FL also accepts files with the .LIB and .DEF extensions and
     passes them to the linker in the correct order. Files that end
     with the .ASM extension or that appear in a /Ta option are passed
     to MASM.
 
     You can use the DOS wild-card characters (* and ?) to process all
     files meeting the wild-card specification, as long as the files
     have the required extensions.
 
     Any <filespec> on the FL command line can include a full or
     partial path specification. If a full path is not given, FL
     assumes the path starts from the current working directory.
