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:

    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.

    Their PROMULA.FORTRAN product is available on MS-DOS and other
    platforms.   MS-DOS version with run time library source code
    is $745, and they have a $10. demo disk.
 
Rapitech Systems, Inc.

    They make something called FORTRIX-C, and they quoted me a price
    of $20,000 for a one year license.

    Provides fixed price turnkey services for FORTRAN to C translations.
 
Compass, Inc.

    I don't think they offer their tools for sale,  but are willing
    to do conversions for you.
 
COBALT BLUE has a vocal set of boosters on the net.  I got several
notes with their name and generally favorable commenmts.
