While I don't expect to actually use it, there is some nostalgia value in it for me. I used to use some of those routines in my early Fortran work about 30 years ago - probably closer to 35 I guess, since we moved to a CDC in '73, though I still used UCLA's IBM a little later than that. I used to use DHARM, for example, for FFTs. I probably even have a copy of it stashed away somewhere, but I couldn't off-hand say where. But hmm... a Windows executable off the net? Oh dear! Well, I haven't fired up the copy of virtual PC on this system for a long time. The Virtual PC isn't connected to the net, and I don't really care if it gets trashed, so...here goes... seems to unpack ok into the source files, which look familliar (well - signs of line termination translation issues somewhere along the way, as I see a blank line after every real line, but that's easily fixed). Oh yes. After going through running it in Virtual PC, I belatedly recalled that self-extracting executables like that can often/usually be unzipped with the unzip command, without running the executable. (And I can even do that directly in OS X). Guess it has been a long time since I worked with that stuff or I'd have thought of it right away. A quick check to satisfy my curiosity verifies that, yes, plain old unzip works, with no need to have fussed with or worried about running the executable.

I forget which are for the Fortran and which for the PL/I version, but there is at least one that has descriptions of the algorithms. -- glen
From: Jim Klein on 16 Nov 2006 16:13 What is bitsaver. I have a hard copy but the print is so weak and small it won't copy and an electronic copy would be cool and I could post it as well.

They are scanned PDFs, so they are large and you can't do searches on them, but they are fine for printing or reading on the screen. There are many other manuals for older hardware and software in http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ -- glen
