README.md

CoCo is a preprocessor for the Fortran language.

The version in this repository has been adapted to be able to process NONMEM control files.

The original CoCo was written by Dan Nagle and was available at http://www.daniellnagle.com/coco.html. On that page there was a link to the Gnu Public License version 3.0. However, he passed away and the original website is no longer available. For convenience and reference, the original source is located in the "orgsrc" directory.

The documentation on the CoCo website was converted to bookdown and the resulting book is located in the "book" directory; the generated pdf is located in the "doc" directory. For now, all information about Fortran was retained even if it is likely to be irrelevant for NONMEM (or for present versions of Fortran).

A chapter was added to the manual (Chapter 11) to illustrate how a preprocessor might be useful with NONMEM.
