SSW->Windows - Contributors

While SolarSoft support under Windows is not yet as mature as for UNIX/Linux systems, substantial progress has been made over the last year and the number of queries regarding SSW for Windows is steadily increasing. Much of the preliminary work in SSW->Windows migration was done by the HESSI team ( Richard Schwartz, Andre Csillaghy, Kim Tolbert, Merrick Berg ) since the use of SolarSoft on Windows NT and Windows 9x were original design goals of their data analysis system.

Our intention is to provide Windows support for at least the gen libraries whenever feasible. Most of the fundamental routines for i/o and environment which might have system dependency have already been modified to accomodate Windows (in addition to some MacOS modifications) by W.Thompson, R.Bentley, D.Zarro, C.Kankelborg et al. The function of the more detailed, instrument-level analysis software under Windows will depend upon the individual PI team resources and motivation to correct any system compatibility problems. Notification of problems and/or contributions (from users like you...) of compatibility fixes are appreciated by most SSW PI teams.
