Here I am.

I am definitely interested in a Fortran to C converter.  I have done enough 
with Fortran on the Amiga to believe that it is useful, but I am continually 
bothered by my inability to dynamically allocate memory for arrays in a 
Fortran acceptable fashion.  Any scheme that I come up with is non-standard 
code.

If I had such a translator that worked, the next version of Matlab would be in 
C, with all the evident advantages of that language.

My access to usenet is limited to this and comp.sys.amiga bases.  If someone 
could arrange to get me the source for this translator?   (Art Mercer, are you 
there??)
