Steve,
Were you not aware of struct(1)? It was in V7 and BSD. It would read
regular Fortran and turn it into ratfor.
I never used it, but I thought it was the coolest kind of thing.
So did I! I used it to convert an early PAL assembler (palasm?)
from FORTRAN IV to ratfor and then I hand translated it to C. I
don't recall if there was a need for this or I just felt like it!
This was possibly before AMD introduced PAL22V10. IIRC we used
PAL16V8s on the Fortune box.
