NAG Fortran Compiler Release 5.3.1(924) Product NPW3253NA for x86-32/64 WindowsThe NAG Fortran Library, Mark 24, was compiled with the highest level of optimization that enabled the functionality provided by the library to be verified and validated.
This library has been tested using the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) and Linear Algebra PACKage (LAPACK) routines provided by NAG (see the Chapter Introductions for F06, F07, F08 and F16 in the NAG Mark 24 Library Manual, which we will refer to as the Library Manual). The library has also been tested with version 11.0 of the Intel ® Math Kernel Library for Windows (MKL) which is supplied as a part of this product (see Section 3.1). Please see the Intel website for further information about MKL (https://software.intel.com/intel-mkl).

FLDLL244M_nag.lib is a DLL import library that includes NAG BLAS/LAPACK. FLDLL244M_mkl.lib is a DLL import library that does not include BLAS/LAPACK. Both libraries have been compiled with the /MD option to link with the multithreaded DLL run-time library. This option must be used when compiling applications to be linked with either of these libraries to ensure linking to the correct run-time libraries.

If you have downloaded the Library materials from our website, run the self-extracting executable to start the Library installation. The Library Manual materials are available as a separate download.
If you have the Library materials on CD, insert the CD into your CD
drive to display the NAG CD browser. Click on the
e:\NAG_Installation_Browser.exeto run the browser, or run e:\fldll244ml_setup.exe to run the Library installation directly, where e is the drive letter for your CD drive.
After installation, you should ensure that the software described in Section 3.1 is present and accessible.
The installation procedure will create a shortcut which starts a Command Prompt with the required local environment variables. The default location of this shortcut is in the Start Menu under
Start|All Programs|NAG|FL24|NAG Fortran Library for Win32 Applications (FLDLL244ML)|FLDLL244ML Command Prompt
(Under Windows 8, the shortcuts appear under the list of all applications. To find this, right-click on the background of the Start screen and select All apps from the bottom right hand corner of the screen. The shortcuts are listed under the NAG section.)
The local environment variable NAG_FLDLL244ML is needed by the batch files nag_example*.bat (see Section 3.3 of the Users' Note (un.html)).
The installation procedure also creates a shortcut on the Start Menu to the Users' Note, which by default is located under
Start|All Programs|NAG|FL24|NAG Fortran Library for Win32 Applications (FLDLL244ML)|FLDLL244ML Users' Note
There is also a shortcut to the diagnostic program NAG_Fortran_DLL_info.exe under
Start|All Programs|NAG|FL24|NAG Fortran Library for Win32 Applications (FLDLL244ML)|Check NAG DLL Accessibility for FLDLL244ML(see Section 4.2.3).
This software is provided with an uninstallation facility via
Control Panel|Add or Remove Programson Windows XP, or via
Control Panel|Programs|Uninstall a Programor
Control Panel|Programs and Features|Uninstall or change a programon Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 (depending on which view is displayed).
(On Windows 8, the Control Panel may be found by selecting Desktop from the Start screen, then moving the mouse to the top right corner of the screen to bring up a menu on the right hand side of the screen. From this menu, select Settings and then select Control Panel.)
The Library Manual may be installed alongside the Library software,
or it may be installed on a different
workstation or server, or viewed from the NAG website
If you have downloaded the Library Manual materials from our website, run the self-extracting executable to start the Library Manual installation.
If you have the Library materials on CD, insert the CD into your CD
drive to display the NAG CD browser. Click on the
e:\NAG_Installation_Browser.exeto run the browser, or run e:\setup_fl24_manual.exe to run the Library manual installation directly, where e is the drive letter for your CD drive.
The installation will create shortcuts to the main index files for the manual. The default location of these shortcuts is in the Start Menu under
Start|All Programs|NAG|Mark 24 Manual| NAG Library Manual Mk24 (HTML5) Start|All Programs|NAG|Mark 24 Manual| NAG Library Manual Mk24 (PDF) Start|All Programs|NAG|Mark 24 Manual| NAG Library Manual Mk24 (PDF + HTML Index)See Section 5 of the Users' Note for details.

If you use Internet Explorer as your web browser, you will require Design Science's MathPlayer plug-in in order to display the MathML mathematical expressions correctly for the HTML version of the manual. At the end of the Library Manual installation there is an option to install MathPlayer. Selecting this option runs the MathPlayer 2.0b installation, which will install the MathPlayer files (approximately 2.4 Mb) under
C:\Program Files\Design Science
MathPlayer may be removed via
Control Panel|Add or Remove Programson Windows XP, or via
Control Panel|Programs|Uninstall a Programor
Control Panel|Programs and Features|Uninstall or change a programon Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 (depending on which view is displayed), but note that clicking on the Change/Remove button for MathPlayer will remove the MathPlayer files without asking for any confirmation.
MathPlayer may also be downloaded from Design Science's website:

In order to enable the software, NAG will issue you with a license key. The license key is a simple text file containing details of the software that will be enabled. For evaluation purposes a trial license may be used. Before obtaining a full license you need to know the Kusari hostid of the system on which you intend to use this product. How to do this is described below.
The easiest way to request a license key is to use the Kusari Installer GUI described in the next section. Once you have a key, the same GUI can be used to install it.
The information below covers the most common requirements. For more
complex licensing situations, please see the Kusari documentation
(the files
To request a license key, run the Kusari Installer program, which may be accessed at the end of the installation procedure or via the Start Menu shortcut
Start|All Programs|NAG|FL24|NAG Fortran Library for Win32 Applications (FLDLL244ML)|Request or Install License Key for FLDLL244MLand click on the
The NAG Response Centre will send you the Kusari license key by email.
A short term (demonstration or trial) license key contains one or more lines like the following:
FLDLL244M TRIAL 2013/11/12 "EMnxidA3oeoj0F1Yvi5ibxPjB7"Specifically, it has a line containing the word TRIAL. Longer term license keys must be locked to a specific computer, i.e. they will enable the software on one computer only. These license keys include the word NODE instead of the word TRIAL above.
Once you have obtained one of the above license keys, the Kusari
Installer program may be used to install the key in the Windows
Registry. Paste the key into the edit box on the main Kusari
Installer dialog and then click on the
The khostid command may be found in the
klreg FLDLL244M license.datOtherwise the key can be installed for the current user,
klreg /current_user FLDLL244M license.dat
The environment variable may be set from the Control Panel.
Alternatively, run the diagnostic program NAG_Fortran_DLL_info.exe which itself calls A00AAF (see Section 4.2.3).
Start|All Programs|NAG|FL24|NAG Fortran Library for Win32 Applications (FLDLL244ML)|Check NAG DLL Accessibility for FLDLL244MLshortcut on the Start Menu, the DLLs will be found if the global PATH environment variable has been set to include their location. If it is run from a Command Prompt window, then the environment local to that window will prevail. (See Section 3.1.1.1 of the Users' Note for more information on environment variables.)
For each of the DLLs that it loads successfully, NAG_Fortran_DLL_info.exe will print the location of the DLL, and the implementation details as provided by a call to the routine A00AAF. It also calls A00ACF to check the availability of a valid license key and reports if this is not found; "Status OK" indicates that a valid key was either found or not required.
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, it helps us deal with your enquiry quickly if you can quote your NAG site reference or account number and NAG product code (in this case FLDLL244ML).
