http://Evgenii.Rudnyi.Ru/ Evgenii B. Rudnyi, 2004 Use at your own risk. MSD is a small interactive program that I have written to process ion current measured by high temperature mass-spectormetry. The goal was to make a simple statistical treatment (see [1] for details) and then determine enthalpies and entropies of a reaction by so called Second and Third Law (it was widely accepted slang in high temperature mass spectrometry). The program was written in Fortran-IV for soviet SM-4 minicomputer, I guess, in 1984. Then in 1993 I have compiled it for PC with Lahey compiler. At that time, Cyrillic charachters in help have been converted to English letters as many people had a PC with a CGA card without a Russian font. g77 3.4 on my Mac just compiles it! The only problem is that READ makes a new line and printing to the same line does not work. Well, I suspect that this is due to changes I have made in 1993 to make it working with Lahey compiler. Basically, type inf at each prompt, or just read the code. From modern viewpoint, the program is quite primitive. Yet, at that time many students in the laboratory have used it to process their experimental results. [1] E. B. Rudny, L. N. Sidorov, L. A. Kuligina, G. A. Semenov.
