I tried to submit a followup article using the "automatic method" of news 2.11, but a) it was returned to me and said:"... is a moderated group and cannot be posted to directly..." b) it was published anyway, but under the subject "A submission to ..." or something like that. However, I think it would be important for the submission to be published under its original subject, so would you republish the article? It is included below: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In article <8701071227.AA18971@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU> SCHOMAKE@HNYKUN53.BITNET wri >(Roger Hauck (ROGER@CFA2.BITNET) writes:) > >> I have a user who is looking for a Fortran to C conversion utility.

There is a good FORTRAN to C -translator called c-77. It is made by a company called Intrinsic. I have converted MATLAB into C with it, and fully automatically. And the code works. LINPACK tests have passed, too. The output is nicely indented, which makes it easy to read and to develop further. C-77 supports ANSI X.39-1978 FORTRAN-77 extended with the MIL-STD-1753 features. It also handles most of the HP FORTRAN-77 and some of the VAX/VMS FORTRAN enhancements. It has three optimization levels. A run time support library file is supported for those I/O, intrinsic functions and arithmetic operations that are not directly supported by the standard C-language run time library. VAX/VMS I/O extensions are not supported. Intrinsic has ported the software to a number of machines, and I suppose new machines can easily be supported at request.
