Kurucz's codes under GNU-Linux

Abstract

We report on the latest version of our GNU-Linux port of the ATLAS - SYNTHE - WIDTH suite of codes for the stellar atmosphere modeling. The latest version (8.1 at the time of the workshop) of the Intel Fortran Compiler allowed for a significantly better backward compatibility with the VMS version of the code, thus allowing us to remove almost all the modifications we initially introduced in order to compile the code under IFC. We now provide ported versions both of ATLAS 9 (the ODF version of ATLAS) and ATLAS 12 (the opacity sampling version). A comprehensive website has been created to host the ported codes, along with a growing body of documentation and resources. Also, three mailing lists have been created at the university of Ljubljana in order to cover general usage, code development and ATLAS-related announcements.
