h5fortran is a streamlined interface that uses the HDF5 library.

Typing it in is a pain, and the data files all have different names. A standard file dialog box would be nice. I believe it is available for the windows version? But I use a Mac. In a different fortran you got the standard file dialog box just be setting the file name to a null string in the Open statement. It was really nice.

Could you please add this feature to the Mac version?

Unless its available in some way I have not found, in which case: How do i do it?

Could you please update the GLPK package too? The version in the library dates from 2004 and is 32 bit only. It would be great to have a 64 bit version too. I do a fair bit of optimization work and normally compile as 64 bit but have to drop everything to 32bit to use the library.
Regards, Pete

There are some handy packages that I use via fpm that I'd love to see in the SF package manager. 

Please feel free to let me know that I should just use fpm and install myself in the SF default include directory if it's a lot of trouble.

M_calculator
M_strings
M_time
M_io
M_sort

among others that are found here:

https://github.com/urbanjost?tab=repositories

These are the ones I need for my current project:

M_io = { git = "https://github.com/urbanjost/M_io.git" }
M_time = { git = "https://github.com/urbanjost/M_time.git" }
M_strings = { git = "https://github.com/urbanjost/M_strings.git" ,tag="v1.0.1"}

Thanks,
Bryan

I have to say that the more I work with SimplyFortran, the more I like it. It is really working very well.

One question please: could you check the versions of Blas/ Lapack which are in the package manager and update them if possible? (latest available version of Lapack seems to be 3.12.1 from Jan 8, 2025; acc. the description in the package manager, there is version 3.5.0).
Thank you very much, Alfred

I do not want to cause inconvenience and I have a short question only. Would it be possible to update the json-fortran package please? I checked the belonging homepage and saw, that this package is well maintained and that the latest version is 9.0.2.
Thank you,
Alfred

First of all, SimplyFortran is an amazing program. Would it be possible to include SuperLU package (Serial, Parallel with OPENMP) in the package manager also.

p.s. I cant provide links, but it belongs to national energy research scientific computing center.

Many thanks.

Best regards
