Whats the difference between MELCOR 1.86 and MELCOR 2.1?
MELCOR 1.86 was originally written in FORTRAN 77. The FORTRAN language has evolved significantly since the MELCOR project began, and most platforms now support a FORTRAN 95 compiler. MELCOR 2.x is a port of the original source code to the more modern FORTRAN 95, to improve extensibility and maintainability. Most algorithms were kept intact so that the two codes are currently functionally the same. However, all future code development will be made to the MELCOR 2.x version. Aside from changes to the source code, there are significant input file changes that have to be considered when migrating from one version to the other. We are developing utilities to help you in the conversion process and will provide them to you at your request.
