PORT is a structured library of Fortran subprograms for numerical computation. The library has been under development at Bell Laboratories for three years and is now in its second edition. One of the most important aspects of the project has been the emphasis on the portability of the library. This note outlines the techniques used to make the library portable, and also discusses the error handling and scratch storage allocation in the library. The report concludes with an overview of the structure and contents of the library.
