Hi Rob, You've made a very good point - thank you.
I am actually quite interested to update the FORTRAN recipe of the Cookbook also. The FORTRAN 2003 standard introduced interoperability with C features. This should greatly simplify invoking modern FORTRAN program units from Inline::C. The example I have in mind is writing a FORTRAN MODULE that performs matrix multiplication using the MATMUL intrinsic function. The minimum FORTRAN compiler that would be used is G95, which does offer C interoperability. Anyway, I'll think about this a bit more.
