[comp.lang.fortran] Have you heard of 'struct'

ajayshah@aludra.usc.edu (Ajay Shah) (08/16/90)

In flipping through the C source for Xlispstat, I came across a
bivariate normal routine where he mentions translating from
fortran as follows:

	1. translate from fortran to ratfor using struct
	2. hand-translate from ratfor into C

This sounds wonderful.  I think f2c would have been a major
fortran-killer if it had aimed at "clear and readable" C rather
than aiming for generated C which would replicate the behaviour
of the fortran in every respect including I/O.

I seem to be seeing a lot of people trying hard to escape from 
fortran these days??  Being younger than 25 seems to be a major
predictor of whether a given person is in such a quest :-)
