Description
Building a software repository of simulation and reconstruction tools for a future
International Linear Collider (ILC) detector we started with applications based on
code used in the LEP experiments with Fortran and C as programming languages. All
future software development for the ILC is done using modern OO languages, mainly C++
and Java. But for comparisons and providing a smooth transition the old tools are
still in use. This report will give on overview on the problems and solutions to
adapt the software to 64-bit architectures. Two packages Brahms (a GEANT3 based
simulation and reconstruction package) and LCIO (a multi-language interface to a
generic data model of basic I/O classes used in the ILC software) are considered in
some detail.
