This version of SifDec supersedes the current version; the old

migrate to the new tools.
Users who still want to use the classic SifDec can download it below.
SifDec is available for the following popular platforms:
Compaq (DEC) Alpha, Cray, HP, IBM RS/6000, Intel-like PCs, SGI and
SUN.
It is designed to be easily adapted to other platforms.
Support is provided for the following operating systems:

Double and single precision is available, in predefined small, medium or
large size. Size may also be customized to best suit your architecture

SifDec comes as a gzipped tarfile and is adapted to heterogeneous networks
as well as to personal, single-user, computers. Complete documentation is
included in the form of a pdf document, ascii readme files and man
pages.
The SIF decoder SifDec is conveniently used with
CUTEr
to solve the decoded SIF files using interfaces to existing
optimization packages.
