Currently we are searching a strong portable way, to mix C/C++ and Fortran 
sources/libraries on various types of computers. This would be very useful 
for our users, e.g. those who don't know the Fortran-language, but want to 
use strong mathematical subroutines (e.g. NAG or ISML) which are written in 
Fortran.

There are some cray-specific routines to support the mix of C and Fortran,
but this is not easy to use for those, who develop there programs on other 
workstations. 
We is a package to support this portable way of mixing called cfortran
(available from zebra.desy.de) which has support for cray-computers, but
it don't work on our system (UNICOS 8.0.2.3 version uwa.39 on the CrayC90)
(at least it don't work for the examples of cfortran).

cfortran use a C-headerfile (cfortran.h) to produce prototypes of
Fortran-routines.

Unfortunally, the C-preprocessor (/lib/cpp) don't work properly with this
header file. In my opioniom, it can't expand some Macros, which are made
inside a Macro (using the ANSI-C '##'-construct).
I tested the cfortran.h-file on a machine using the gnu cpp with -DCRAYFortran
an it expanded those macros, but misses some cray-specific files.

Now i want to ask if:

Someone knows ftp-server with a precompiled gnu cpp (which is pathindependend
i hope ...) i can use to test cfortran.

Someone uses cfortran on a similar cray system.

thanks
