Programming conventions

Programming language for analysis related (FLIB,ULIB) subroutines should be FORTRAN. Lower level services not relying on CERN routines may be coded in "C" or even, if useful, in Assembler. Remember that we are working in a heterogeneous environment and every piece of code that is introduced into the common libraries has to run on every computer in use in our collaboration ! For FORTRAN programmers there is a collection of "DO NOTs" in Appendix and

• on MVS in 'KP09.PORTABLE.TEXT'
• on VMS in REF_ULIB:PORTABLE.TXT.
• on UNIX in $CAVEB/ulib/portable.txt.

Use only one subroutine per file. The name of the subroutine should be equal to the file name.
