	       Ftnchek Version 2.9  patch Level 3
			  June 1996

The following change to 2.9.2 was made in patch 3:

  1. Fixed a bug in versions that allow options to start with a slash
     (Mainly MSDOS and VAX/VMS), which caused ftnchek to hang if the
     /version flag was given.
  2. Minor improvements in OS/2 configure & make.

The following change to 2.9.1 was made in patch 2:

  1. Added support for quad precision constants and intrinsic
     functions.  These are treated as REAL*4n where n = wordsize as
     set by -word (default n=4).


The following changes to 2.9.0 were made in patch 1:

  1. Changes to ftnchek operation:
	o Split -trunc=demotion option into two separate options,
	  size-demotion and type-demotion.
	o Fixed bug where -trunc=no-demotion turned off promotion
	  warnings in expressions.
	o Fixed error in definition of SYSTEM Unix intrinsic function
	  from subroutine to integer function.

  2. Changes to configure/build procedures:
	o Minor changes to Makefile.in and configure.in to ease
	  porting to non-Unix platforms.
	o Renamed dcl2inc.sh.in to dcl2inc.in.
	o Changed the way makefile.generic is created, moving the sed
	  commands from Makefile into a separate shell script,
	  configure.generic.
	o For OS/2, a configure script in REXX, configure_os2.cmd, is
	  now provided.
