In the Physics Library as well as Olin 221 and 224 labs. Has been installed on the PHYSICS server. HLP help files that come with CVF opened fine in Windows 8 after downloading the viewer Visual Fortran 6 Using Visual Fortran 6.6Ĭompaq Visual Fortran 6.6 to the physics department.įor use in the physics department, the compiler It may not be worth the trouble for most readers, but is meant for the few who want, for various reasons, to run the nine-year old CVF software package on a current operating system.Īs in Windows 7, the old. Note that this procedure is roughly the same as that given above by FortranFan. Run the CVF IDE, build and run a small project to make sure that the installation is functional.
Set the Compatibility property of MSDEV.EXE to Windows XP-SP3.Change the properties of the Start Menu CVF->Developer Studio shortcut so that it points to the just-installed MSDEV.EXE rather than to DFDEV.EXE. Obtain the file MSDEV.EXE from a working VS6 installation, put it into the MSDEV98\BIN directory.Obtain the 6.6C update file CVF-66-66C3.exe (still available from HP after registration), run the file as Administrator.Run as Administrator, and let the installer complete the installation after you tell it where to install. In Windows Explorer, find SETUP.EXE in the X86 directory of the CVF CD.Here is what I did (today) to install on W8ProX64: So, thanks again and I will refer back to the comments to possible improve my situation.ĬVF 6.6C can be installed and run even on Windows 8 X64. (Yes, very old school.) I never use the actual "visual" environment. As I said initially, I always compile via the command line via "f90. Some internet searches, as I recall, led me to a nugget that led me to a simple how-to that involved some "trick" at install time so that the Compaq system behaved the same way as I was accustomed to it behaving. It may not be so easy to isolate the offending situation, if the data used IS the problem. By the way, desl.exe is a very integrated, large, multi-purpose code to do a lot of aero data crunching. The SA and I tried various flavors of "compatibility" mode execution but the system still failed. In that era, just the executables were distributed and there was no expectation that the target machine had any piece (DLL's) of Compaq software also present I always assumed that in the exectuable was all that was needed to have a "complete" executable.Īfter I was "upgraded" to W7 and not able to be the administrator, there were immediate problems. I'll have to research more.īut, I am not dreaming when I said that my good old Windows XP situation, when I was the administrator, using the Compaq 6.x, worked fine and I could distribute executables that nobody complained failed on W7 platforms. After Steve's words, if it is supposed to work on the command line then that seems to say it all. It may well boil down to the data instance in question.
