Introduction to Fortran Programming
===================================

These files represent the notes for the Fortran course given to the
Meteorology Honours students each year.

Remarks
-------

The file: zdotfiles.zip contains some
initialisation files (dotfiles) which will enable you to access most of our software
from a Linux PC or Sun with ease.

The file: first.f is the Fortran source code file
discussed in: A No Frills Introduction to Fortran Programming (intronotes_2007.pdf).

Later, we will have a lab session where we will go through the material in:
Lab Session for An Introduction to Fortran Programming (Lab_Session_2008.pdf). Of course,
you are welcome to go through this session on your own.
