This version of the original DECON software (QCPE 212) has been converted to run on the IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible. The package includes the following FORTRAN programs: DECON--Subroutine used to remove broadening of spectra due to instrumental effects SMTH3--Subroutine called by DECON CONSLV--Subroutine called by DECON DECOR--Function called by DECON PLOT--Subroutine which can be called by the driver to plot spectra to an OUTPUT file DRIVER--Sample driver routine for DECON

The package also contains sample input and output and the program QCP212.EXE, which was used to generate the output file. The executable program QCP212.EXE was compiled using Microsoft FORTRAN 77 (Version 3.31) on an IBM XT with an 8087 math coprocessor.

One should note that, unlike QCPE 212, the format of the spectroscopic data and instrument function data is defined in the program DRIVER.This is to prevent incompatibility with some microcomputer FORTRAN compilers that do not allow variable formats to be defined in the data set. One can change the data format of the input data by changing FORMAT statements 198 and 199. The current format settings for the spectroscopic data and instrument function data are 20F4.3 and 10E8.3, respectively.

In linking the object (.OBJ) files when creating an executable file, some compilers give an error stating that DECOR is defined more than once in function DECOR. This is NOT an error, and the executable program does indeed run correctly.
