Map Projection Transformation Routines Wanted

Hello.  I am looking for any source code which takes geographic coord-
inates such as Latitude/Longitude, and transforms them to another map
projection such as Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) or to the
various State Plane Coordinate Systems.  Years ago I was given a small
program written in BASIC which did that, but I found out it was laden
with result errors.  FORTRAN, C, Pascal, even Ada would be fine; even
across operating systems (MS-DOS, SVR4, Ultrix, etc.) because I have
access to them all and more.

Not that I'm lazy, but I do have the book from USGS with regards to the
various formulae in making such transformations; I just wish I had the
time to actually write the code (spoken like a true rusty programmer).
I thought it best to ask first, then leap into the briar patch.  If
anyone can help me find this I would be grateful to at least hear from
you.  Thanks in advance, and have a great 1993 if you don't read this
until then.
