This download link wored for me a minute ago-
http://openwatcom.mirrors.pair.com/open-watcom-f77-win32-1.9.exe
I barely know what I have. :-) I used the link you mentioned, and don't
know about plain Watfor. I figured anything I got would be Watfor. I
found the manual
You've lost me entirely...
Did you or did you not download the OpenWatcom F77-Win32 install .exe?
....
I found the ftn77 manual, v1.8, so I should be able to get a better....
handle on matters.
All the OW documentation is installed in the install and includes both MS .hlp and (if chosen) a pdf-format file as well. This includes documentation for both the compiler and the IDE and a programmer's manual that talks about the compiler usage and how to build for the target system as well as the LRF (Language Reference Manual)
Other than (perhaps) going to bitsavers or some other archive site for early FORTRAN syntax if something arcane shows up (altho what you posted looks pretty plain-vanilla and shouldn't create too much trouble w/ F77-compiler) you should have all you need in the package to use OW F77. If you've not used Fortran in quite some time, you'll probably find a general text worthwhile for general reference, however.
Hmmmm.....just went and looked at the download install of OW...you should have V1.9 documents and I see that the install didn't put icons for the help files in the program folder automagically--that should be fixed.
The .pdf files are in the \docs subdirectory; you'll want
fuguide -- Fortran Users Guide, the Programmers' Manual
f77lr -- F77 Language Reference Manual
ftools -- Linker, Librarian, etc., etc., ...
and the holy grail...
fbooks -- F77 Bookshelf index to all online help documents is a help file in the \binnt subdirectory. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an equivalent in the pdf documents yet.
I'd make a shortcut to the fbooks help file firstest thing I did...
