tool: SUIF Fortran Back-End (``fortback'')

---

Language:	SUIF, Fortran77
Version:	1.0.0.beta.2
Parts:	compiler(SUIF->Fortran77)
Author:	"Stanford Compiler Group" <suif@suif.stanford.edu>
Location:	ftp pub/suif/fortback-1.0.0.beta.2.tar.gz from ftp-suif.stanford.edu http://www-suif.Stanford.EDU
Description:	This package provides a translation from SUIF to Fortran77. Since not all of SUIF can translate to Fortran 77, program is broken up into parts that go to Fortran 77, and the rest goes to C which is then linked to the Fortran parts. This provides improved performance over generating C alone in many cases because the Fortran 77 back-end compiler can often optimize better than a C compiler.
Conformance:	output is ANSI Fortran 77
Bugs:	suif-bugs@suif.Stanford.EDU mailing list
Restriction:	Free for any use, commercial or non-commercial, only requires copyright notice be preserved

Ports:	Ultrix/DECstation, SunOS/SPARC, Solaris/SPARC/x86, Irix/SGI-Mips, Linux/x86, OSF/DECAlpha, many more UNIX systems;
Portability:	Very system independent, but makefiles need to be replaced for non-UNIX systems if GNU make isn't used
Status:	Actively used
