On my computer at home the float-double problem does not occur but I have learned that the ANSI std for C clearly offers no protection in this regard so I'll make those changes straight-away. There is some reason to my madness- The binary outputfile originates from the codes early history in combustion chemistry- hundreds of chemical species, sensitivity parameters... All eat up disk space. This time around I though I would conserve space by writing metafiles- also speeds up input to post-run codes. The idea of using post-run codes for graphics etc. is to facilitate others in writing smaller/simpler scripts without having to get into the meat of the basic solver. This will make it easier for me to maintain the solver while allowing "tools" to accumulate with the package. Using specific files rather than stdout for output follows in the tradition of TeX- helps keep the code from being bound to unix and there are those who really want to port the code to non-unix platforms. setfiles() is just another of my attemps to modularize the code- easier for updates/maintenance. The code is not static- I intend to maintain the basic solver with repairs (with the help of users like you!) and enhancements. For instance the current version of the code does least-squares optimization using a simplex proceedure (not yet released). I would like to see the changes you've made- If you are using the code for research and would like to try the least-squares version let me know and we'll figure out how to get it to you (ftp?). After, of course, I fix the float <-> double boner (I knew better- just that my brain is not always in gear). By the way does my mailer give you fits? I've had a complaint that my mail comes out as one long line. ___________________________________________________________ |Mike Whitbeck | whitbeck@unssun.unr.edu | |Desert Research Inst. | whitbeck@wheeler.wrc.unr.edu | |POB 60220 | whitbeck@sanjuan.UUCP | |RENO, NV 89506 | 702-673-7348 | |__________________________|______________________________| All academics have the potential for being insatiable... but the chemists are the most expensive and insatiable among the expensive and insatiable. - J.
