I wish to learn ISIS; I've ftp'd everything, it all seems to work (execpt for the fortran test program). But I don't know C (I'm just starting to go thru K&R), therefore reading the manual is frustrating because I have a hard time following the examples. Also I'm not familiar with some of the lingo. I would like very much to use ISIS for a fortran application; is anybody out there willing to get me started, i.e., help me at a basic level for 2-3 weeks? I don't want you to write my code for me, but I do need to ask somebody some dumb questions for a while until it 'clicks'. Please email at below address; I don't receive the isis newsfeed. Many, many thanks, -- Ralph Finch The opinions expressed herein are mine... ...ucbvax!ucdavis!caldwr!rfinch 916-445-0088

Maybe we will organize a short workshop at Cornell at some point for learning to program with ISIS. I haven't got anything planned right now, but if interest seems very strong (and we could get away with charging enough) we could probably organize something. The fortran test program doesn't do much, but I do think it works. It just exercises a bunch of ISIS features on the SUN3/SUN4. You need to run a few copies of it, if I recall correctly, for it to do anything at all, and even then it just runs ISIS system calls and prints a few silly messages. Ken
