Thanks to evryone who replied to my original request for information on this subject. Since there seems to be some interest in this subject lately, I'll summarize my findings: COBALT BLUE 2840 Union Avenue, Suite C San Jose California 95124 (408) 723-0474 FOR_C, their C translator, is available on SUN-3, SUN-4, XENIX/386, and MS-DOS platforms. The price is $750 on MS-DOS including run-time library source code. They have a demo disk for $10. Other related products, FOR_C++(translates to either C or C++), and FOR_STRUCT(which they claim will restructure *spaghetti* FORTRAN) will be available soon. Promula Development Corporation 3620 North High Street, Suite 301 Columbus Ohio 43214 (614) 263-5454 Their PROMULA.FORTRAN product is available on MS-DOS and other platforms.
