+.SH NAME
+altran \- language for algebraic manipulation
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B altran
+[
+.I option
+]
+... file ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Altran
+compiles the language described in the reference
+via Fortran as an intermediate language.
+The
+.I files
+may have names ending in
+.BR .al ,
+for Altran source,
+.BR .f ,
+for Fortan source, or
+.B .o
+for binary object files.
+The output normally includes
+a .f file for each .al file,
+a .o file for each old or new .f file,
+an executable file
+.BR a.out ,
+and a listing file
+whose name ends in
+.B .list
+for each .al file.
+.PP
+All the
+.I options
+of
+.IR f77 (1)
+and
+.IR ld (1)
+are accepted with the same meanings.
+.PP
+The executable
+.BR a.out
+file accepts two parameters.
+One is of the form
+.BI p= n
+where
+.I n
+is the number of decimal digits of precision to be used for long
+integers,
+.if n .RI 18<= n <= 900,
+.if t .RI 18\(<= n \(<=900,
+default 18.
+The other parameter is of the form
+.BI w= n
+where
+.I n
+is the workspace size in thousands of words,
+.if n .RI 10<= n <=800,
+.if t .RI 10\(<= n \(<=800,
+default 50.
