Base is definitely not the right category. Conversion for output by Fortran programs seems like a pretty small target audience. Also: % yum list asa Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, rhnplugin This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite. Error: No matching Packages to list % emerge --search /asa Searching... [ Results for search key : /asa ] [ Applications found : 0 ] This doesn't seem to be available in at least two popular linux distributions so you'll need to get votes.
