Frequently asked questions related to the code's porting to different systems

Question 1: How difficult will it be to port SAMMY to my system?

Answer 1: Beginning with Version M5, porting SAMMY to another system is fairly straightforward. The code has been tested on a wide variety of UNIX- and VMS-based workstations, and on pc's using either LINUX or WINDOWS. Detailed instructions are provided by RSICC or NEA when the code is sent to you.

Question 2: In porting older versions of SAMMY to my system, the compile and link steps seem to work OK, but only the first module will run; it ends with indecipherable error messages. Only one output file is generated (SAMMY.LPT) and it contains only the header with the author's name and address. What's happening?

Answer 2

NOTE: The next release of the SAMMY code uses a more modern distribution system, which should eliminate most of the previous problems with portability.
