I've been given the job of rehosting some Fortran IV from Ga. Techs
CDC Cyber 830 running NOS 2.6.1 to our Sequent S81 running Dynix 3.1.17.
I've run into a problem with the type of files it used.
In the old code, there are calls to OPENMS, READMS and WRITEMS. As
I am told these are for random access files. I have no manuals for the
mainframe so I've got a few questions.
1. Are these random access files like direct access but with variable
record lengths? If not, what are they?
2. Is there a library I could get for the Sequent to do the same
thing? Where? How much?
3. Is there a translator for free somewhere so that my position might
be eliminated? Where?
Even a nudge in the right direction would be nice. I'm obviously
not a fortran expert so any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks, in advance, paul (gt0066b@prism.gatech.edu)
