Support for ratfor, the "rational fortran" precompiler, is
being discontinued in Sun WorkShop. While the ratfor command is
included for compatibility in this release, the documentation has
been deleted and the ratfor command will be deleted in the next Sun
WorkShop release. Ratfor users are encouraged to migrate their
source code to the Fortran 90 specification, which provides much
more robust functionality and will be supported in the future.
