[TRNSYS-users] Create a new type

[jeannieboef]

Beware! I'm currently trying with g95. As a start the guidelines are  
good, but I have found a few problems that are not mentioned there.  
Find the gg95 google group. search for DMOD to find my conversation. I  
have also posted to this group, but I'm having a bouncing problem atm.  
Since that guild has been written there have been updates to the  
constants, data, and functions modules  which should be included in  
your type code. I would take the source code for these and adjust and  
compile them one by one until they compile without error. As I've  
said, my type compiles fine and runs, but is not working properly. I  
suspect the problem is with the old !DEC$ attributes dllexport::...  
statement which is ignored as a comment by g95. The gcc 4.x.x  
directive has suggested !gcc$ as an easy replace for !DEC$, which  
works a little better, but I'm still having problems. The type  
subroutine and some functions are missing an entry point pointer and  
information gets lost. I've not solved this issue yet and am a bit out  
of my depth here. I think a basic input output function will work fine  
without the pointers.

Let me know if anyone has working compiled by g95 source code to  
share. I'll post mine when and if it ever works.

goodluck
