- Can FORTRAN subroutines be called from TP programs? or is there any good
- FORTRAN to Pascal translator?
-
- I use Pascal (TP in particular) to implement simulations of biological-
- economic systems (bioeconomic modelling). Pascal is ideally suited for my
- needs because of its ability to manipulate pointer variables, linked lists,
- complex data structures, ennumerated types etc. etc., while it retains a
- 'friendly' english-like syntax (unlike C).
- However, there are lots of good scientific subroutines out there written in
- Fortran. Wouldn't it be nice to have the best of both worlds by implementing
- input/output and general system simulation with Pascal while calling Fortran
- subroutines to perform numerical calculations?
- Am I dreaming?
- Thanks for any info
