- Greetings. I am porting a rather large program from a cray to an IBM
- 486 pc for transportability. Fortunately, thanks to the skill of the origional
- programmer and the versatility of MS Fortran 98% of it goes straight in.
- Most of the errors followed the 22 rule (simple errors tend to wander off the
- line on which they actually occur by 11 in either direction, useful when you
- get syntax errors on comment cards) and were easy to fix. There is a slight
- operating system incompatability. The program statement in the origional body
- includes parameters which MS DOS doesn't like or give any clue as to what to do
- with it. I think that they are parameters transferred from the dos command
- line to the program or pointers for the program to access data. They are:
- program pargraf (tty,input=tty)
- and
- program parmela (tty,input,tape10=input,output)
- Any help on what to do with these things would be greatly appreciated.
-
- Cheers!
- Robert Millner
