FPT AND WinFPT CONFIGURATION FILE, config.fsp

The configuration file, config.fsp is used to set up site or user-specific defaults. config.fsp resides in the main FPT directory, for example, for FPT version 3.7, by default under Windows: "C:\Program Files\SimCon\FPT\FPT37", typically, under Linux or Unix: /usr/local/bin/fpt/fpt37 and FPTMAIN: under VMS.

The file config.fsp contains:

1. A reference to the file user.fsp which contains the LICENSEE and KEY commands.

2. A reference to a formatting file. This contains a detailed specification of the format of the Fortran code output by FPT. The format is usually set up interactively and saved to an FSP file by the SAVE FORMAT command. The formatting FSP file is invoked from the configuration file to set up a default format.

3. FPT commands to set up site or user-specific characteristics, such as the maximum length of file names and the default input and output file name extensions. For example:

   	% maximum base file name length = 100
   	% primary input file name extension : ".f"
   	% include input file name extension : ".inc"
