Does anyone out there have a public domain program (in C or FORTRAN)
to convert RATFOR to FORTRAN and/or C.
Thanks in advance,

It's just a pre-processor. It's described in detail in the book "Software Tools" bu Kernighan and Plauger (there are two editions -- one uses Fortran and one uses Pascal). Despite its age this is *still* a fine book -- it teaches you the Unix concept of software tools and explains the underlying philosophy.

It has been some time since I used Ratfor, but it produced Fortran IV, not f77 output. Perhaps some means of converting Ratfor to f77 is what the poster was after. -- George W.

Check your nearest archive. The mods to make the K&P Ratfor generate F77 are not too difficult to figure out anyway. Ken

Box 2826 Some time ago I rewrote RATFOR to emit Fortran77 code, and, while I was at it, speeded it up about 4-5 times, and extended the language somewhat. This was for a MVS IBM mainframe system under ISPF, so that RATFOR (or RATF77 as it was known) was part of a the production environment. This resulted in a much better usage of Fortran facilities, although had a reasonable version of 'C' been available, it would have been preferable... The project of converting RATFOR to C ws considered, but never undertaken - It doesn't seem in retrospect to be a greatly difficult project, as the RATFOR compiler has most of the parts in it to be modified to the new target... The biggest part is the addition of a symbol table & its management... Bruce Becker UUCP: ...!unicus!becker!bdb, ...!lsuc!humvax!becker, ...!ncrcan!ziebmef!becker BitNet: BECKER@HUMBER.BITNET

I just received a letter about "The C Users Journal (tm)". It claims that among the recent articles was "A review of a RATFOR to C Translator." Anyone interested might like to get in touch with The C Users' Group, P.O.Box 97, McPherson KS 67460 I have no affiliation with the C Users' Group and have not seen "The C Users Journal (tm)" and recommend neither; I'm just passing it on.

(I am posting for a friend, and will forward any messages.) Does anyone know of a way to translate Ratfor to C? Is the Ratfor source around that can be modified to produce C instead of Fortran? My problem is that I am stuck with 200,000 lines of Fortran written in Ratfor. There are existing solutions to translate Fortran to C, but the Fortran which Ratfor produces is "unstructured" to say the least. The thought of re- translating this to C is unpalatable. Any ideas?

There > are existing solutions to translate Fortran to C, but the Fortran which Get the book, "Software tools", by Plauger, et.al. It gives a ratfor to fortran routine. I have looked at ratfor. It probably could be converted with little more than a set of macros, and a couple of passes through a standalone C preprocessor. I am sure that the source for Ratfor exists outhereout here in net-land. I believe that I have seen it on some PC boards, aand perhaps Scott Guthrie, at the Austin Code Works, in Austin TX. (advertises in Dr. Dobbs Journal) will have it. Cheers Woody
