Yet Another Legacy Fortran Question

O Learned Denizens, I humbly prostrate myself before your collected wisdom, as ever.
 
I want to compile some legacy Fortran for a user TYR501 that I successfully compiled as recently as 2019. I note with interest that Intel decline to sell me anything other than "oneAPI" these days. I further note that MSC insists I use Intel Fortran XE 2019 Update 4. This dance happens every time and is becoming tedious.
 
But enough whining.
 
I note that Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition is free and will successfully compile and link sample routines like sfosub.c provided with the installation. Interestingly it still seems to call some Intel Fortran libraries, but that's a topic for another day.
 
So, it occurs to me that sooner or later I need to get myself out of the 1970s and move to C. However, I am not seeing any sample code for TYR501 and/or RPF501 in C (though the fortran examples are still there).
 
Is there a TYR501 C example anywhere? Any pointers in generating one?

  • Dunno. My machine is about 3 years old, so I'm lucky to thave a 3 year old Intel Parallel Studio XE2016 which still works even for the latest ADAMS version.
    Ask again at the end of 2021, when it'll be exchanged with a new one. Then I'll have exactly your problem, too.
     
    I agree that getting the "right" Version is a major PITA and once again I only can advise MSC to become a reseller for these dreaded compiler stuff and to deliver them with their ADAMS distributions on demand.
