Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

─────Specifying Source Files (/Tf, /Ta)─────────────────────────────────────
 
     The /Tf and /Ta options specify that a file is a FORTRAN or
     assembly-language file, regardless of the file's extension.
 
     Syntax: /Tf[ ]sourcefile
             /Ta[ ]sourcefile
 
     The space between the option and <sourcefile> argument is
     optional.
 
     The FL command assumes that a filename ending in .FOR is a FORTRAN
     source file and invokes the compiler. Likewise, it assumes that
     any filename ending in .ASM is an assembly source file and tries
     to invoke the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM). Files without
     these identifying extensions do not automatically invoke the
     compiler or assembler.
 
     If you compile a program using /Tf, you must explicitly select the
     FORTRAN expression evaluator when using the CodeView debugger.
     CodeView only uses the FORTRAN evaluator as the default when the
     source file has the .FOR extension.
 
     The /Ta option is used with the /MA option. The /MA option
     specifies that the following file is a MASM file and the file is
     to be assembled and linked with the program. If the file name does
     not end in .ASM, you must use the /Ta option to specify the full
     file name.
