Description
Hi,
the section Calling Fortran Libraries in the documentation could use some small fixes. The first one is that the file gtd6.f is not easily found anymore, Maybe it is better to include a small fortran function in the text?
Another part is describing the choice of CAML_param5 macro better, the text indicates it always have to be used.
The part with fortran types integer and real is not clear, the fortran real is single precision. I don't remember now, but maybe f2.h needs to be included.
I can help out with these points if needed, let know. It was quite some time I played with calling fortran codes and i'm a bit rusty.
Best regards,
Jörgen

Research direction
Start with the documentation section titled “Calling Fortran Libraries” and review its references to gtd6.f, CAML_param5, Fortran integer and real types, and f2.h. Done means clarifying how to find or demonstrate gtd6.f, when CAML_param5 is needed, and the type and header guidance.
