Fortran 90
We have commenced work on converting SPIDER to Fortran 90. Fortran 90 compilers are available for SGI, Dec-Unix, and SUN. This change will improve parallelization and speedup programming.
SPIDER for NT
It looks like the "Golden Age of Computing" is drawing to an end and we are doomed to eventually run SPIDER on NT. To be prepared for this possibility we have begun to port SPIDER to NT.
VAX/VMS version is gone.
The VAX/VMS version will no longer be distributed to new sites and no new releases of the VAX/VMS version for existing sites are planned. We will continue to support existing VAX/VMS sites with their current release.
