Setting up compiler options; manuals to purchase (or print)

[michael_falls]

I apologize for asking trivial questions, however I am a new user who never worked before with Intel Fortran in Windows .NET environment (and with Intel Fortran per se as well.)
Q1) How could I set up compiler options from .NET environment ? In particular, how to turn on the warning if a variable is used without being assigned a value first ?
Q2) Are there any manuals for purchase (or print) where basic information regarding questions like this one is explained ?

The "Intel Fortran Compiler Options" manual, part of the on-disk documentation, gives the Visual Studio way of specifying specific compiler options. The one you want is Run-time > Check Uninitialized Variables

Sorry, but no purchasable version of the manuals is available. You can print the chapter on all compiler options from the Compiler Options Manual.

The .pdf files which install with the compiler, in docs folder, are the primary printable documentation.
The Windows on-line documentation is accessible from the Start menu.
I find your first question easier to answer from the command line:
ifort -help | grep uninit
/Qtrapuv trap uninitialized variables
/CU runtime check for uninitialized variables
same as /check:uninit
[no]output_conversion, [no]power, [no]uninit, [no]args

Only some documents are in PDF form, and this isn't one of them. The Compiler Options Manual is in CHM (Compiled HTML Help).
