Linux Ratfor

This Linux Ratfor is derived from the public domain ratfor version 1.0 by Oz, Ken Yap, W. Bauske (IBM), and SEP (http://sepwww.stanford.edu). It is still in the public domain.

Ratfor is short for Rational FORTRAN. If you are not familiar with Ratfor, SEP has a good page about it. It was used in the classic Software Tools text by Kernighan and Plauger, published by Addison and Wesley.

I have converted it to ANSI C, added prototypes, adapted it for the GNU autoconf mechanism, and made the test cases (all two of them!) actually work. Because of these changes, I am distributing this as version 1.01. However, I consider this program to be stable.

I have binary RPMS and source RPMS available, as well as the gzipped source tar file.

The ratfor preprocessor outputs FORTRAN 77. Please note that you will need a FORTRAN 77 compiler (such as GNU Fortran, part of the GNU Compiler Collection) to compile and run the output of Ratfor.

You can look at the CVS history.
