G'day,

I'm hoping that a reader of this note will have successfully installed the
FLOPPY (the CERN Coding Convention Checker) on a VAX.  I am running into a
linking problem.  The linker cannot resolve these 3 symbols :

        UMLOG  (a subroutine)
        LENOCC (a function ?)
        OR     (a function ?)

I would appreciate any help here (even RTFM's (which I have tried) through
to "Listen Lou, this is trivial :-)").  I think it wouldn't be too hard to
cobble up a replacement routine for LENOCC (it seems to be used in the way
the FORTRAN-77 function LEN would be) but the other two I'm less confident
about.

As is the usual way of things I really want a code "cleaner" tool for this
particularly poorly written FORTRAN I have to debug at work. {No we didn't
write it. Ugh, shudder! :-)}

Our constraint is cash. :-( Are there any FTP sites for similar tools? I'm
sorry but I only recently have started looking for such sites and I think
I've missed recent discussions on this topic.

Has CERN released FLOW?  It's described as a Structure Analyser.

Is the NAG Toolpack software redistributable?  What is the cost?

I apologise for exhausting this slice of bandwidth with my questions.  Try
to e-mail replies if you can.  If I get any requests for a summary I'll do
what I can (if I get responses) depending on work load here.

yours truly,
Lou Cavallo.
