Simulation on real time

[fernandolimon]

Hi, mi name is Fernando, i would like to know if Fortran 6.1 profesional edition has inoff power and tools to make an realtime simulation program if so then what are te basic tips to start on. i hope you understand my very basic English.

I also get an erro messaje like this;

error LNK2001
could somebody explain this.
Thanks a lot.

Fernando,

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, you can write real-time programs in Visual Fortran. However, writing real-time programs in any language is complicated, and I don't know if we can give you enough tips here. First you should design your program in a general way - what you want it to do - and then think about how you would do that in Fortran. You will probably have to make a lot of use of calls to the Win32 API routines, and reading a book on the Win32 API would help. Norman Lawrence's "Compaq Visual Fortran: A Guide to Creating Windows Applications" is good for learning how to use the Win32 API from Visual Fortran.

Link error LNK2001 means that your program made a reference to a routine or COMMON that was not found. There are many possible reasons for this, including calling a routine with the wrong number of arguments.

Please note that version 6.1 is very old - 6.6 is the current supported version.

Good luck!

Steve
