FORMAT parsing?

[Gregory G. Woodbury]

Now that everyone has seen all the bashing that the scanf(3) routine has
taken, let me ask if anyone has some pointers to, or information about C
code that can read/interpret FORTRAN style FORMAT statements.

We often do FORTRAN-to-C translation, and we are not impressed with the
various F-to-C packages that we have seen and evaluated.  Also, our
researchers are usually somewhat familiar with the FORMAT statement.

Rather than re-invent a wheel, is there some package that I can pick
apart to get this functionality.
(of course, I could do FORTRAN/C hybrid code - (shudder)).

					Thanks much.
