Well, actually the automated translator (based on f2c) produced
code that was too messy to clean up, so I ended up doing the whole
thing manually. Not particularly difficult, just a bit tedious
transposing subscripts and making them 0-based.
I can probably do the same for 2.6 within a week or so, time permitting.
That would produce a version that compiles and executes the same as the
Fortran original, but presumably more slowly because of aliasing in C
preventing some compiler optimizations that Fortran can do.
Once there's working C code, I can hand it off to the other folks on
the list for optimizing or writing the interfaces that Ernst described...
which will probably be the bulk of the work :-)
