GASPAR was developed at NRC to run on an IBM mainframe and first released
by RSICC in 1984.  In 1999 the ESTSC transferred their version to
RSICC. The RSICC master was replaced with the source received from ESTSC,
which was compiled and tested at RSICC on an IBM 9672Model 52 
running MVS/ESA 4.2.2 and OS/390 Version 1.3.  The FORTRAN 
compiler was Version 2.5.0.

The source files were compared, and all changes from RSICC's previous release
were noted.  LOGICAL*1 statements were changed to CHARACTER*1 to get the program
to compile. A conditional branch related to nobel gas computation was included 
in the source from ESTSC.  The other notable changes were a typographical error
in Keith Eckerman's name and several format statements in which vertical bars 
separated columns. There were no notable differences in the output results.

See the documentation for details on package execution.
