This is just a hint.  There is currently Fortran-to-C conversion
package being developed by the people that manage the NETLIB.

I found the following entry in the NETLIB general index:

*  notes on the Fortran-to-C converter  (netlib at research.att.com only)
	send index for f2c

Does anyone know what "f2c" is about?
