I just found the following notice posted in comp.archives. The notice was apparently not cross posted to comp.sys.mac or comp.sys.mac.programmer, so I thought I would post it here myself. If it's on the level, this sounds like a good deal for users of Absoft MacFortran. McFace, from what I've heard, is a subroutine library designed for people who want to slap a quick interface on Fortran programs that they are porting to the Mac. I've never used it, but there was a favorable review in MacTutor (Vol 3, No. 7 or see "The Essential MacTutor", page 522). According to the notice below, it's FREE! And that's a price that's hard to resist. A site for anonymous FTP is given below. Now, if some kind sole would just post it to comp.binaries.mac ? > From: XB.N54@forsythe.stanford.edu (SCA) > Newsgroups: comp.archives > Subject: [comp.lang.fortran] Macintosh Interface Tools Available > Message-ID: <11225@stag.math.lsa.umich.edu> > Date: 2 Mar 90 02:33:38 GMT > Sender: news@math.lsa.umich.edu > Reply-To: XB.N54@forsythe.stanford.edu (SCA) > Followup-To: comp.lang.fortran > Lines: 39 > Approved: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) > > Archive-name: mcface/v4.0 > Original-posting-by: XB.N54@forsythe.stanford.edu (SCA) > Original-subject: Macintosh Interface Tools Available > Archive-site: dendrite.stanford.edu [36.83.0.61] > Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) > > Summary: McFace 4.0 released for public distribution announcement > Keywords: McFace, Fortran, Macintosh, user interface, public release > > > McFace Tools 4.0 released for public distribution > Tensor Laboratories > > Tensor Laboratories announces the public availability of McFace 4.0. > McFace Tools was created to assist Fortran programmers on the > Macintosh add a Macintosh interface to their programs.
