VMS LIB$
in [Fortran]
|
From: rfengineer55 on 24 Jun 2010 02:49 Hello, I'm working with some Fortran programs written to run on a VAX system. These programs use many VMS LIB$ routines. My question for the group is, is there a source here these VMS lib$ routines can be downloaded? I prefer to stick with Fortran 77 for this particular project, so the downloaded libraries will have to be compatible with that, if possible. I found some websites about open VMS and some good descriptions of these ibrary functions, but no source for download, unless it was there and I missed it. Thank you for the download suggestions.

I would expect the library source to be proprietary to HP. And I would guess that the library routines are in C or BLISS or assembler, and that they use VMS System Services, so unless you want to partially emulate a VMS system, the source, even if you had it, wouldn't do you much good. I think you're stuck rewriting the system-dependent bits of the code for UNIX or whatever it is you're porting to. Louis

I did not want to do a bunc of coding before checking out the easer stuff fiirst. Fortunately in my application, I can simply do without some of them and others would be straight forward to replace with a fortran subroutine. I don't know much about Open VMS and what it can do for me. This particular project won't last long enough for me to find out. At least I hope not :-) Thanks for your response and for your observations. Jeff RF ENGINEER55

Jeff, if you'll ask in the Intel user forum and name the LIB$ routines you're using, we can suggest alternatives. Most of the ones your application is likely to use can probably be replaced. The VMS operating system sources are not downloadable.... In a past life I was a developer of many of these LIB$ routines, so I'm very familiar with them. -- Steve Lionel Developer Products Division Intel Corporation Nashua, NH For email address, replace "invalid" with "com" User communities for Intel Software Development Products http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/ Intel Software Development Products Support http://software.intel.com/sites/support/ My Fortran blog http://www.intel.com/software/drfortran

I have a vague memory of seeing ads for functional replacements of the various LIB$ routines some time ago. I would guess that they are no longer being offerred so my recollection is not of any real practical value. Is my vague memory a false memory? |
