The original set of files had extensions alpha_OSF1, +convex, ix86_Linux, mips, pcm, sun4, sun4_Solaris, and vax. In each +case, there were a number of files for unix-like platforms, one +Windows/MSFortran (pcm) and one VAX one. For random and gresid, the +unix ones were largely the same, differing only in whether they called +a function random() or ran(), and with different calls -- these could +be handled using fpp. + +The Windows and VMS ones were sufficiently different that they've +remained in separate files. Each of the three has a __win file, +specific to MSFortran (or to Windows, I'm not sure). In each of the +three cases, the __vms file is the original _vax file -- it's specific +to VMS, not the VAX. For random and gresid, the files are called +random.fpp{__win,_dec_osf} even though there's nothing preprocessable +in them. + +I _think_ I've got the __vms and __win dependencies right, but I've no +way of testing them. |
