Installation on MS Windows (Watcom version)

This version provides an Interactive Development Environment to do program modifications, if you have the free Open Watcom compiler. However, you cannot get my tools this way. (Though you could install them from ranlib.zip and tools.zip of the other Windows installation page.)

Getting the code

Make a folder for the code. You need the source code with my bug fixes. Save this link to your code directory, unzip and it will create a folder "mdwat0" with many subfolders. You also need the actual program directory with my mods. If you unzip this, it will create another folder, "mdexe", in addition to mdwat0.

Running the code

To run the program

• Create a coord.d file using the separate program chiral, maketube, or other. Put it in the mdexe folder. (There is a diamond.d file in mdwat0, but that one crashes for some reason.)
• Edit input.d in the mdexe folder to set the run parameters.
• Run main.exe. Or, to avoid the screen disappearing on termination, run main.bat instead.
• Examine output.d (and other files) for the results.

Making changes

If you need to make changes in the code (increasing storage, changing parameters, ...), you will need to rebuild the main.exe executable. You can do that as follows:

• Download and install the Open Watcom Fortran compiler, available for free from Open Watcom.
• In Windows 95-ME, you may need to declare some more environment space using the line:
     shell=c:\command.com /e:1024 /p
  in your config.sys file.
• Make sure you:
      call c:\watcom\setvars.bat
  in your autoexec.bat file or elsewhere.
• Reboot
• Enter the Watcom IDE. Turn off the "unreferenced variable" warnings in Options/Fortran Compiler Switches. Open the project main.wpj in the mdwat directory. Select 'Make All'.
