- : Our company offers a FORTRAN to C conversion package, FOR_C, which will
- : perform the type of translations you are seeking. It supports standard
- : F77, with many VAX, Prime, IBM-VS, HP and Microsoft extensions as well.
- : The translated code is very readable and easy to maintain in C.
-
- There is also a free package f2c, which however produces C code mainly
- aimed at being compiler in[ut rather than being read and maintained by
- human readers. (At least the versions I have used were not, maybe this
- has changed?) Anyway, if you want it to compile it may do the trick, if
- you want to use the C code and maintain it later, it may very well not
- (especially since f2c code requires to be linked with some f2c library).
-
- I have used it extensively before g77 became available,
- and ist has been ported to many platforms (comping from UNIX, I would think,
- it is at least on OS/2 and DOS, I would not be surprised about a boat load
- of others, but I don't know for sure.)
