N-1. Installation.

For  installation instructions,  see either of the  following files on
the NTFLINT CD:

        install.txt     -- Installation instructions in text format
        ntflint.doc     -- Quick-start guide in MS-Word format

----------------------------------------------------------------------

N-2. Running FortranLint.

After  installation is completed,  FortranLint may be  executed in two
modes:
        (a) GUI mode (ntflint).  Click  on the  NTFLINT icon  (located
            under "Programs") or execute "ntflint" in a DOS box.

        (b) Command-line mode (flint).  Execute "flint" in a DOS box.

Under Windows NT/2000,  no additional  setup is  required for  DOS-box
support.

If you want  DOS-box support under  Windows 95/98,  edit "c:\autoexec.
bat".  Add two lines of the following form and reboot:

        SET FLINTHOME=C:\Program Files\Cleanscape\NTFLINT
        SET PATH="%FLINTHOME%;%PATH%"

If  you  changed  the  default  installation  directory,   modify  the
FLINTHOME setting shown here accordingly.

Note: Microsoft's DOS shell doesn't handle embedded spaces consistent-
ly:
        If you're setting PATH  *and*  you're using Windows 95/98, add
        double quotes.

        If you're setting FLINTHOME *or* you're using Windows NT/2000,
        omit the quotes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

N-3. Documentation.

For additional information, see the following MS-Word documents:

        flintman.doc    -- FortranLint manual
        ntflint.doc     -- Quickstart guide for the NTFLINT GUI

These two  documents  are  stored in the subdirectory  "Doc" under the
main NTFLINT directory.

Note: These documents are also stored on the NTFLINT CD.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

N-4. License manager.

For systems with network (or "floating") licenses,  NTFLINT provides a
"license manager" service named "IPTLM".

To inspect or change "IPTLM" settings,  open Control Panel and double-
click the "IPTLM" icon.

On  systems with  "nodelocked" licenses,  the  "IPTLM" icon may not be
present.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

N-5. License error messages.

If NTFLINT displays a license-related error message at any point,  use
the "IPTLM"  Stop/Launch buttons to stop and  restart the license ser-
ver.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

N-6. Deinstallation.

There are two ways to "uninstall" NTFLINT:

        (a) Using Control Panel's "Add/Remove Programs" feature
        (b) Using a manual procedure

For most installations,  the "Add/Remove Programs" feature should suf-
fice.  (Note:  Under Windows NT, log on as "Administrator" before pro-
ceeding.)

If "Add/Remove Programs" produces any error messages, close it and use
the following procedure instead:

        (a) Log on as "Administrator" (required for NT only).
        (b) If NTFLINT is running, close it.
        (c) Open Control Panel.

        (d) An "IPTLM" icon may be present. If not, skip this step and
            proceed to step (e).

            Double-click  the  "IPTLM" icon.  If  "IPTLM" displays the
            message  "Server is running",  press Stop.  Close  "IPTLM"
            before continuing.

        (e) Close Control Panel.

        (f) Open a  DOS window.  At the  DOS prompt,  run  the program
            "delflint" provided  with  NTFLINT.  (See  the  main FLINT
            directory or the NTFLINT CD.)

Note:  "Add/Remove Programs" will not remove  changes made manually to
"autoexec.bat".  If you modified  "autoexec.bat" during  installation,
remember to remove the added lines.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

N-7. Command-line options.

The NTFLINT GUI may be started from the DOS command line:

        ntflint                 -- Starts the GUI

The  GUI  File menu  includes  "Save" and "Save As" items which can be
used to  create  "project"  files.  To  load an  existing project from
the DOS command line,  enter "ntflint"  followed  by  the project-file
name:

        ntflint c:\usr\proj\widget.flt
                                -- Loads the "widget" project

The ".flt" filename extension is optional:

        ntflint c:\usr\proj\widget
                                -- Loads the "widget" project

Users normally select  source files using the GUI.  However, "ntflint"
provides a  command-line switch "-files" which can be used  to specify
files non-interactively.

To use the "-files" switch,  add one or more filenames  to a text file
(e.g., "foo.txt") and execute a command of the following form:

        ntflint -files foo.txt
                                -- Reads filenames from "foo.txt"

NTFLINT  will  create a  new project  containing  the files which were
specified by "foo.txt".

Filenames containing embedded spaces must be double-quoted.  For examp-
le:
        "C:\Demo Files\test1.f90"

Note:  Filenames may use either relative or absolute paths.  If two or
more files are specified on a line,  the filenames should be separated
by white space.
