I'm looking for a RATFOR to Fortran converter. I know that there used to be a lot of people working on the "Software Tools" project and using RATFOR, but I can't find a RATFOR converter anywhere. Please respond by electronic mail. Thanks, Bill Bogstad

The way to find anything and everything is to telnet to quiche.cs.mcgill.ca and login as "archie" (no quotes, no password). When you get the "archie" prompt, type: prog ratfor Archie knows where everything lives on the Internet. Archie will tell you where all the ratfor-related files are. If you are running UNIX, you can log your session with: telnet quiche.cs.mcgill.ca | tee ratfor.locate I think. Anyway, if that doesn't work, ReadTheFineManualPage for tee. For faster response and greater courtesy to the fine folks who have made archie available to us, use the service during off-prime hours. -- Dan Mocsny Snail: Internet: dmocsny@minerva.che.uc.edu Dept. of Chemical Engng.

Please respond by >electronic mail. > > Thanks, > Bill Bogstad My 1976 edition of Software Tools contains the following statement on its Contents page: "All of the programs described in this book are available in machine- readable form from Addison-Wesley." I followed up on this in '76 or '77, and got a 9-track tape from them. I had some character translation problems getting it dumped into my account on a Xerox Sigma-IX, but nothing serious. Ratfor came up with little difficulty, and generated Fortran source acceptable to the Fortran-IV compiler I was using. No, I don't still have the tape. Addison-Wesely might still have it. -- mitchell@mdi.com (Bill Mitchell)
