Dear all: For those of you wanting to try Mlucas 2.7x (or any other Fortran code) on Alpha under Linux, Compaq is offering free betas of their f90 compiler for Linux. The same site lists free betas of the Compaq Linux C compiler, the Compaq Portable Math Library, and says there will soon be a beta of a C++ compiler for Linux: www.unix.digital.com/linux/software.htm I don't run Linux on either of my Alphas yet (If anyone has advice on relatively painfree and hopefully $-free ways of installing Linux on an Alpha, without blowing away an existing Unix configuration - I'm all ears), but the Linux executable of Mlucas v2.6 my SPEC98 contact at Compaq provided me earlier this year (compiled using the aforementioned compiler) was as fast as the f90-for-Unix- compiled one. -Ernst _________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
