Which Edition / Version / Update ?

blwiland — Wed, 03 Aug 2005 20:01:49 GMT

I am a bit confused by the Fortran product update descriptions. There appear to be four different editions or version types:

w_fc_c

w_fc_pc

w_fcp_p

w_fce_pc

I have the standard version of IVF which I run on a basic PC with Windows XP. Which of the above nomenclatures do I choose to get the correct update?

Is there an updateto version 9 for thestandard version of IVF running under Windows XP? If not, any ideas when it will be released?

You want w_fc_c. An announcement was sent out late yesterday about a w_fc_c_9.0.020, but the package was removed from the download area while we address an installation issue. You can wait for it to reappear, or if you have a version older than 9.0.019, download and install w_fc_c_9.0.019.

w_fce kits are for 8.1 and specifically for Intel EM64T. As of 9.0, that platform is included in the regular package. w_fc_pc is also a prefix that became obsolete as of 9.0.

w_fcp is the Professional Edition package, including IMSL. Even if you have the Professional Edition, you use the w_fc_c packages for compiler updates, as IMSL updates are less frequent.

Did people find the wording of today's announcement of w_fc_c_9.0.020 an improvement over the previous style? Did it tell you what you needed to know about whether the update was applicable to you?

Yes, I found it to be an improvement. It seemed clear to me.

Yes. The new format is much better. It's so much better that I had to read it three times (which was mandatory with the old format) to realize that I only needed to read it once.

Thanks.
