Böge machine translated my beam dynamics library from Pascal to C (with GNU p2c) & used it as an on-line model server to guide the commissioning (i.e., including e.g. modeling of girder correlations, etc. & the related correction algorithms that I provided to model the real lattice for the SLS conceptual design).
