[net.unix] C to Fortran translator needed

cwc@uw-june (02/24/84)

Does anyone know where I can get a C to Fortran (or C to Ratfor) 
translator?  It wouldn't have to do the hard things like pointers
and structures.

Thanks in advance.

While we are on the subject of vain hopes, does anybody have a
translator that goes the other direction?  That is, is there a Ratfor
to C translator anywhere?
Failing that, does anybody have a Ratfor compiler for the Intel 8088
or one of its cousins.  A cross compiler running on a VAX generating
code for the 8088 would be OK too.

Thanks in advance,

Seems to me that compiling Ratfor for an 8088 wouldn't be that hard.
First you run your Ratfor programs through ratfor, and get vanilla
Fortran.  Then you pick some 8088 Fortran compiler (Microsoft's comes
to mind, but not the version of it that IBM sells) and there you are.
