As far as I remember, the problem is that you need a library to run the translated
code on a C compiler (the library handles the I/O calls). So, you can't simply run
the code thru this site.
It should be an excellent converter once they release the library, though. It seemed
very well thought out when I tried it.

The f2c converter is released. For more information send the message send index from f2c to netlib@research.att.com

As Richard said, for full details, send a one line message of the form `send index from f2c' to netlib@research.att.com. I only had one small problem in getting it to work here, and that was my fault -- I didn't read the documetation carefully enough before typing `make'. Once I changed one #define, everything worked smoothly. -- John Eaton jwe@emx.utexas.edu Department of Chemical Engineering The University of Texas at Austin Austin, Texas 78712
