Why not just work with the C++ code? use f2c, then clean up the C++

Well, I don't know C/C++ well enough to play with it, and I have a
large amount of fortran code that I'd like to integrate in RB
projects. For the moment I don't need to access fortran variables
from rb, and moving information via input/output files is an easy and
viable solution...
If the code is small, it's a good idea. If it's a lot code, you'd
probably be better off leaving it in fortran.
Yes, I better leave it in fortran... I'll go on experimenting.
I also converted a quite large program from fortran to RB, but
execution speed is so poor in comparison that in the future I'll try
to avoid this solution. On the contrary, f2c-converted code compiled
and run in a terminal doesn't show a slowdown with respect to the
fortran compiled app, even if the C code produced by f2c is very
likely not optimized. So I expect to have quite the same performance
going the plugin way...
