[comp.lang.c] Borland Turboc and MS Fortran integration?

todd@SEAS.UCLA.EDU (02/24/88)

I've talked my father into looking at TurboC and he likes it.
He doesn't want to port all his code, but would like the fast
TurboC windows.  Is is straightforward to call TurboC from
MS Fortran 4.0 or visa-versa.  This is supported with MS C.

It is possible to link MS Fortran and Turbo C routines.  I have
worked with FAR pointers and parameter passing (By ref and by
value) for both and it works just fine linking fortran to C code.  
I have not tried the opposite direction.  If you would like code
samples please send me a self addressed stamped envelope to
