I completely understand the reasoning behind not wanting to release
source code. As soon as you do, you become the target of who knows how
many emails complaining that this doesn't work or that doesn't work and
who really has the time to handle all that? I know I sure don't.

Anyway, I split my time between Linux and Solaris. Much of our real
number crunching code is executed on our beefy Solaris servers. Several
of the physicists down the hall from me have asked before about what
it'd take to get an interface into the the Tsgyaneko library, so you can
understand my excitement and understand why my first question was about
Solaris.

Rick,
yes, unix has just too many flavors. The main problem is though that I use
the Intel Fortran compiler on Windows and Linux for the Fortran code. The
advantage is that I can use the Windows code with all special DLL compile
directives on Linux as well. The Linux version of the compiler just ignores
these commands. I have no time to test this with different compilers. If you
(or Mike) want to give other compilers a try send me an e-mail and we handle
that off line. Once we have a working version, we can make that public.

Sheesh! Anything else you want? A precompiled version for HP/UX or AIX
or VMS or CP/M? I'm kidding. But Haje might not have access to a
slowlaris box with IDL installed to compile and test. And then is he
supposed to offer 32-bit binaries? 64-bit? Then someone will complain
that he used GCC instead of the sun compiler...

Mike,
i will post the linux version at the RSI site, too. Until then grab it from
our server. As for other OSes, you are just like a friend of mine (wondering
if he is reading along): The first thing he asked me is where the MAC
version is. I will think about releasing the source code for UNIX so it can
be recompiled. I am hesitant about releasing Windows source code since I
don't have time to answer 50+ million e-mails why the codes doesn't compile.
Are you on solaris?

Very very very cool, except the Windows part. Is there any reason why
you didn't post the Linux DLM as well? I only found that one by finding
your website with both DLMs on it. And what about getting the DLM for
other operating systems, like Solaris?

Ok, I upped the linux version to the RSI codebank. It should be posting
soon. Time permitting, other OSes will be provided, but please, NO NAGGING!
