I have a series of users here in the Chemistry Department at UoW, who wish to
use the IBM Data Acquisition and Control Adapter (DACA) board.  The history
of the software supplied with this board by IBM (circa 1984, using the
Professional FORTRAN compiler) is not good, to say the least.  The
demonstration program supplied with this board does not work, and every
group that uses this board ends up chucking the IBM control software and
writing their own code (providing only the functions they need, using
whatever compiler or interpreter they know/favor, and not programming for
portability or maintaining the code.  Sound familiar:-)

If anyone has a library of routines for controlling this board, preferably
written in Microsoft FORTRAN 5.0, or C 5.1, and would be willing to send me
said source, I would be very grateful.
