Whenever the NAG C Library has been supplied in compiled form, that form is considered to be the standard library file. The use of all supplied software must be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Software Licence signed by NAG and each site. Any request to use NAG software on a computer other than the one licensed must be referred to NAG (see Section 6).
This implementation is a compiled, tested, ready-to-use version of the NAG C Library that is considered suitable for operation on the computer systems detailed below:
hardware: Intel Pentium based PCs or compatible
operating system: Windows 95/98 or Windows NT/2000
C compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ Version 6.0
Borland C++ Version 5.2
Watcom C/C++ Version 11.0
For information about implementations of the NAG C Library for use on other computer systems please contact NAG.
This implementation was produced at NAG Ltd., Oxford on the computing system detailed below:
hardware: HP Kayak 2 operating system: Windows 2000 C compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ Version 6.0 compiler options: /Gz /MTThe compiler option /Gz means "compile using __stdcall calling convention", /MT means "use the multithreaded version of the C run-time library".
The entire NAG C Library, Mark 6, was compiled at optimization level /O2.
For further details, refer to other documentation supplied or contact NAG (see Section 6).

The CD should autorun and will lead you to a dialogue for installation.
If the autorun facility does not operate, then double click on the setup.exe file on the CD using Windows Explorer. Any continuing difficulties indicate a problem which should be reported to the NAG Response Centre (see Section 6).
The installation program will ask you for the drive and directory where you would like to install the library materials. You will also be asked which parts of the materials you want to install. The installation program may be used to install all the materials from CD-ROM or just some part of it, for example the library.
An uninstall facility is provided. This will remove the product from your disk. It will also undo the registry entries made during installation, but will not undo any changes to the autoexec.bat file. If a re-installation is performed, for example to add a component that wasn't originally installed, the uninstall facility will remove only the most recently added files. (However, it will still remove all the registry entries associated with this software.) The uninstaller will not remove files created since the installation was completed (although it will remove original files that have been modified), so it may be necessary to delete these files to complete the removal.
After installation you should ensure that the software described in Section 3.2 is present and accessible.
The batch file runex.bat requires the setting of the environment variable nagcl06_32. It should be set to the root directory of the NAG materials.
Under Windows 95/98, the autoexec.bat file can be edited to add the environment variable. If the default location is used, add the line
set nagcl06_32=c:\cldll064z
Under Windows NT/2000, the environment variable value can be set in the Control Panel | System Properties dialog. If the default location is used, set the variable to
nagcl06_32and the value to
c:\cldll064z
Alternatively, runex.bat can be edited to set the variable nagcl06_32 to reflect the local installation. Note that runex.bat also assumes that the location of the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler is in your PATH environment variable.
Runex.bat temporarily adds the location of the DLL to the PATH environment variable so that the DLL can be found when running the example programs.
The directory path for the DLL can also be specified in the PATH environment variable in the autoexec.bat file (for Windows 95/98) or via the Control Panel | System Properties dialog (for Windows NT/2000) so that the DLL may be located at run time from other applications.
The above changes to the autoexec.bat file (for Windows 95/98) can be made by the installation procedure if desired.
Note that runex.bat assumes the use of the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. Variants of runex.bat, named runex_bc.bat and runex_wc.bat, assume the use of Borland C++ and Watcom C++ respectively.
You may also wish to add the location of the NAG include files and the NAG import library to the Microsoft compiler environment variables INCLUDE and LIB, respectively. Alternatively, for some compilers, these paths may be set in the development environment.
A batch file nagcvars.bat is provided in the NAG materials root directory to set all these environment variables from the MS-DOS prompt. This will affect the environment only for that particular DOS box, but could be useful if compiling from the command line.
You may wish to move the PDF documentation files to the same location as that for other NAG products. You are encouraged to make them readily available to users, but in such a way that they are not generally accessible from outside your site.
All the material listed in Section 3.2 except this document, the Installer's Note (doc\in.html), should be made accessible to users.
Note that the example material has been adapted, if necessary, from that supplied in the PDF documentation, so that programs are suitable for execution with this implementation with no further changes. Making the example material directly available to users provides them with easily adaptable templates for their own problems.
A full on-line version of the NAG C Library Manual is provided in the form of Portable Document Format (PDF) files with this implementation. Further information is contained in the Readme file on the distribution medium.
Printed copies of the NAG C Library Manual are available for purchase; please refer to the NAG documentation order form (available on the NAG websites, see Section 6 (c)) for details of current prices.
The NAG Response Centres are available for general enquiries from all users and also for technical queries from sites with an annually licensed product or support service.
The Response Centres are open during office hours, but contact is possible by fax, email and phone (answering machine) at all times.
When contacting a Response Centre please quote your NAG site reference and NAG product code (in this case CLDLL064Z).
The NAG websites are an information service providing items of interest to users and prospective users of NAG products and services. The information is reviewed and updated regularly and includes implementation availability, descriptions of products, downloadable software, product documentation and technical reports.
