- } For pascal you should get the excellent pascal to c compiler. It
- } produces C code and then you compile the C code. It works very
- } well. In the past I have compiled it on both a System V machine and
- } a BSD one and I expect it to work without much trouble on a Next.

- Ditto Fortran. The Fortan to C converter that I know excists on some
- NeXT ftp sites has never given me any problems. I've used it to install
- linpack, eispack...name it. Compiling is amazingly quick. Comes with
- an f77 script that makes it completely transparent.
-
- Also, if you want to --- dare I say it? --- pay, there is a Fortran90
- compiler from NAG as well as the Absoft F77 compiler. I have used neither.
