Does anyone out there have a public domain program (in C or FORTRAN)
to convert RATFOR to FORTRAN and/or C.
Thanks in advance,

It's just a pre-processor. It's described in detail in the book "Software Tools" bu Kernighan and Plauger (there are two editions -- one uses Fortran and one uses Pascal). Despite its age this is *still* a fine book -- it teaches you the Unix concept of software tools and explains the underlying philosophy. It's a MUST if you haven't read it or an equivalent (is there one?). -- Ed Nather Astronomy Dept, U of Texas @ Austin {allegra,ihnp4}!{noao,ut-sally}!utastro!nather nather@astro.AS.UTEXAS.EDU

It has been some time since I used Ratfor, but it produced Fortran IV, not f77 output. Perhaps some means of converting Ratfor to f77 is what the poster was after. -- George W.

Check your nearest archive. The mods to make the K&P Ratfor generate F77 are not too difficult to figure out anyway. Ken

Box 2826 Some time ago I rewrote RATFOR to emit Fortran77 code, and, while I was at it, speeded it up about 4-5 times, and extended the language somewhat. This was for a MVS IBM mainframe system under ISPF, so that RATFOR (or RATF77 as it was known) was part of a the production environment. This resulted in a much better usage of Fortran facilities, although had a reasonable version of 'C' been available, it would have been preferable... The project of converting RATFOR to C ws considered, but never undertaken - It doesn't seem in retrospect to be a greatly difficult project, as the RATFOR compiler has most of the parts in it to be modified to the new target... The biggest part is the addition of a symbol table & its management... Bruce Becker UUCP: ...!unicus!becker!bdb, ...!lsuc!humvax!becker, ...!ncrcan!ziebmef!becker BitNet: BECKER@HUMBER.BITNET

I just received a letter about "The C Users Journal (tm)". It claims that among the recent articles was "A review of a RATFOR to C Translator." Anyone interested might like to get in touch with The C Users' Group, P.O.Box 97, McPherson KS 67460 I have no affiliation with the C Users' Group and have not seen "The C Users Journal (tm)" and recommend neither; I'm just passing it on.
