Does anyone know of a APL to Fortran converter out there either commercial or public domain?

I don't know of a public domain one, but I believe that the Yorktown APL Translator (YAT), written at IBM by Driscoll and Orth (and a few other lending a hand), has been passed on for public sale by some group outside IBM. A call to Don Orth or Graham Driscoll at T.J. Watson Labs in Yorktown might determine whether this is truth or rumour. I heard from a usually reliable source. YAT converts APL\360 code to Fortran (can you say DO LOOP?). It sure ain't gonna be free.

C and Fortran are almost the same language aren't they? At least I think one can call C from Fortran and vice versa on some machines. -- Sam Sirlin Jet Propulsion Laboratory sam@kalessin.jpl.nasa.gov
