Upgrading from DVF 6.0A to IVF 8.1

[ferrad]

a. Does the Intel White Paper on upgrading from CVF 6.6A to IVF 8.1 apply to an upgrade from DVF 6.0A to IVF 8.1? If not, is there some documentation on what further needs to be done to get DVF 6.0A code to work in IVF 8.1?

b. Can DVF 6.0A applications interface to IVF 8.1 generated DLL's?

a. It should apply. I don't think we tested the project conversion wizard with DVF 6.0, but I would not expect problems.

b. Yes - just be aware that they are two separate Fortran environments, so you can't open a file in DVF and write to it in IVF, for example.

One more question -

The Porting document mentions that C++ and Fortran sources cannot be included in the same project. What about if one does not use the project concept, and just compiles C++ and Fortran source files from the command line, can they be linked (manually) into the same DLL / LIB ?

Yes - no change in how you do that.

Where do I get a copy of the intel white paper on ugrading from compaq visual 6.6 to intel visual fortran 8.1
