Hi, I hope that this may be the answer … If you got the sources and unzipped them the ASCII files may need to have the record terminator altered from UNIX/PC style to VMS style. On the version of unzip.exe that i have for my VAX, one must enter a "-a" option when unzipping a unix/pc zip file to VMS, so that the <CR> gets fixed up to a <CR><LF>. If your version does not allow this, try editing the *.c files and forcing fortran carriage control, using an editor like Wordperfect (text out to ASCII text file) or for the more sophist .. VMS studs that is, use the convert/fdl utility to change the file structure to add the correct terminators. This may not be even close to your problem, or it might solve it staight away (as it did for me). Colin There is 1 Reply. Read action !

Colin, thanks for the reply. I will give this a go and see if it helps. >for the more sophist ..

Sounds reasonable to me. I'll let you know Loyd Read action !
