This function loads and runs the compiled fortran code cnvrt and prints error messages. cnvrt is Piepel's 1988 JQT fortran code for extreme vertices designs.
Eflags(ndm,nvrr,ncon2,rtheta2)This is the order of centroids desired (0=none, 1=edge centroids, 2=face centroids etc.)
This is the number of mixture variables ( maximum is 12)
This is the number of constraints (maximum is 45)
This is the constraint matrix stored as a vector of columns.
This is the vector of error flags. A negative value for flag 1 indicates that there are inconsistent constraints. A negative value for flag2 indicates there are two many vertices and centroids, this program only works when # vertices + # centroids <=1000. A negative value for flag 3 indicates an error encountered when calling subroutine allnr.
