libvis? (converting fortran from 10.20 to 11i)

[Stanley Merkx]

We are converting from a 10.20 system to a 11i system.

Most of the apps are in fortran source.

Some use libvis for a number of vector calculations, but this lib is obsolete since 10.30.
The documentation I was able to find says libblas is the replacement, since it contains the functionality of libvis and libvec.

However, we require the the functions 'dvdot' and 'dvpiv', (and a number of other 'dv???' functions).

These are not available in libblas!

How can we solve this? Preferably without requiring major code changes to use other functions.... The source code we have is *very* poorly documented, so we don't want to change too much :))

Hi,

I have found a doc on www.docs.hp.com which says :

Compatibility

The following libraries are moved to obsolete status in FORTRAN 77. These libraries are currently found in /opt/fortran/lib and are moved to the following locations:

/opt/fortran/obsolete/lib/libvis.a

/opt/fortran/obsolete/lib/libvec.a

/opt/fortran/obsolete/lib/libfsys.a

The functionality provided by libvis and libvec is also available in libblas.a. The functionality provided by libfsys.a is also provided by libU77.a. (These libraries were never available as shared libraries.)

So perhaps you can still use it ...

Thanks, but this is exactly the documentation I was referring to... :((

11i does not have an F77, only an F90 compiler. The F90 does not have any /opt/fortran/obsolete libs...

There is a libblas, but as I said, the required functions are not in libblas :(
