Unix to PC 1

[pweic]

I am currently working on my final year project related to fortran 77. I encounter some binary (sequential) files created by Fortran 77 in Unix, but as I have only access to pc, I can't read the file at all.

So is there a way for me to convert the file to a text file in pc or read it using fortran 77 in pc?

Thank you

Some years ago I had a similar problem. When I used Pathway NFS to transfer Data to a unix File Server there was no more a Problem.

Ops, I think I made some mistake.

What I really mean is how to convert a fortran 77 binary file created in UNIX system to a text file or Fortran 77 binary file for use in Window 98.

In this Pathway package there is a tool called u2d (?). I means Unix to Dos. That is not a Problem of Fortran but a general Problem of Unix or Windows Files. If I remember correct on Binary Level it is only a Exchange of High and Low Word. But in this field I am not sure. It is to long ago.

The common FTP-Clients (WS-FTP, Cute-Ftp...) support this feature too. WS-FTP is free for personal use.

Hi,

Did you solve your problem? I have the same problem too!
If yes - tell me know how did you solve it!

Thanks,

You could open it as FORM=UNFORMATTED ACCESS=SEQUENTIAL. Read everything up to a linefeed and put it into a char array then use a formatted read from the char array.

Thanks xwb,

I found option CONVERT='BIG_ENDIAN' and put it into OPEN(). All work!

Thanks again.
Sincerely Yours,
