The OTHER version of PREPRO2017 comes with FORTRAN
source codes, in compressed form.
 
1) Copy PREPRO17.tar.gz to your hard drive. First uncompress
   and untar. After installation you should have a directory
   named PREPRO17 that contains all of the files you will
   need to run the executables, and a sub-directory named
   SOURCES that you will need to create the executsbles;
   you can delete OTHER.tar.gz
 
2) The SOURCES sub-directory contains files to compile and
   load all of the codes. Execute the batch file for your
   type of computer, e.g., IBMPC.BAT, LINUX.BAT, MAC-OSX.BAT,
   This could take between 5 and 45 minutes to complete,
   depending on the speed of your computer.
 
   If the codes EVALPLOT and COMPLOT fail to compile and
   load then you may need to change the path in the
   Makefile to the directory that contains your X-Windows
   routines, i.e. /usr/lib/X11
 
3) If all of the codes compile you should have a total of
   22 executables - 16 in the directory SOURCES, 3 in the
   directory SOURCES/COMPLOT and 3 in the directory
   SOURCES/EVALPLOT. Copy or move all 22 executables to
   the OTHER/PREPRO17 directory - you should then have 45
   file in your OTHER/PREPRO17 directory.
 
4) To VERIFY proper installation, it is recommended
   that after installation you execute VERIFY.BAT. This
   is a batch file that will run the codes in sequence.
   The final two codes will display the calculated
   cross sections (EVALPLOT), and compare the results
   you calculated to a standard set of results (COMPLOT).
   Difference of about 1 % to 2% are acceptable; larger
   differences indicate an installation problem.
 
5) If you have any problems notify the Nuclear Data
   Section, IAEA, Vienna, Austria.
