In our work with distributed intelligent systems for space teleoperators
and robotics, we have found the "cfasl" function in Franz Lisp to be very
useful, connecting previously-developed Fortran routines to the total
system. However, a need has arisen to use an external Pascal function,
and we have been unable to persuade Franz to accept this in our system.
We have even tried to front-end Pascal modules with Fortran in order to
cfasl, but can't even manage that. Any suggestions from someone who has
done this? We are running Franz opus 38.17 on a *VAX/VMS* 750, not Unix.
We do have the Eunice system.
The heart of the problem is that
I'm using VAX/VMS Pascal, not the Unix/Eunice pascal. Evidently the VMS
pascal is not generating global symbols in a way that is visible to the
cfasling functions. In fact, I haven't gotten it to be visible to the linker
in VMS calling pascal modules from other languages, say fortran. Probably
if I could get that, I could get the other.
