ABSTRACT

A number of updates to the macroprocessor are described that bring the code into line with the Fortran 77 standard. This is followed by an outline of how the macroprocessor was used for the rapid porting of geophysical software from a 64-bit supercomputer environment to a number of different Unix workstations. Finally a number of deficiencies remaining in the macroprocessor are noted and workarounds suggested where possible.

REVIEW

"William M. Waite : Reviewer"

The first part of the title, “Remark on Algorithm 622,” characterizes this item perfectly. It consists of a number of detailed comments that are totally unintelligible without the original algorithm. It should be of great interest   more...
