}  For pascal you should get the excellent pascal to c compiler.  It
}  produces C code and then you compile the C code.  It works very
}  well. In the past I have compiled it on both a System V machine and
}  a BSD one and I expect it to work without much trouble on a Next.

Ditto Fortran.  The Fortan to C converter that I know excists on some
NeXT ftp sites has never given me any problems.  I've used it to install
linpack, eispack...name it.  Compiling is amazingly quick.  Comes with
an f77 script that makes it completely transparent.

Also, if you want to --- dare I say it? --- pay, there is a Fortran90 
compiler from NAG as well as the Absoft F77 compiler. I have used neither.
