Description-en: FORTRAN 77 to C/C++ translator
Translates FORTRAN 77 (with some extensions) into C, so that it can
then be compiled and run on a system with no Fortran compiler. The C
files must then be linked against the appropriate libraries.
.
This is an actively maintained FORTRAN to C translator and with the
fort77 frontend provides an ideal way to compile FORTRAN routines
as black boxes (for example for invocation from C). Source level
debugging facilities are not available, and error messages are not as
well developed as in g77.
