[net.lang] Fortran-to-C Translator

ken (01/06/83)

Dennis Allison at Stanford has the start of a FORTRAN-to-C translator.
When we experimented with it, it didn't seem to work on our large CAD
programs, although it worked fine for Allison on small programs.  It is
written in C rather than yacc and lex, and does not use struct as a
preprocessor.  At last contact, I believe both he and we gave up on
it.  We have instead used a 68000 FORTRAN compiler from Silicon Valley
Software.  I don't have Allison's net address, but any interested
parties may contact him at Stanford.

If anyone else has a FORTRAN-to-C translator, I'd be glad to hear about
it.
