Hey,NeWShackers!
Does anyone of you netters know of a way to interface Fortran with the world
of NeWS;
1. Does anyone know of an "interface toolkit" corresponding to the one for the
C-language (i.e CPS)

2. My next question is if there is some simple and/or general way on how to passdata to/from an existing program (for instance a Fortranprogram written without
any consideration to NeWS whatsoever and not likely to be rewritten) from/to a 
NeWSprogram, without having to write a CPS-like interface. For instance if I 
have a Fortranprogram running in one window and a NeWSprogram, with menu and/or
buttonitems for simple input of datas or actions, running in another-How can I
then pass the data corresponding to menu- or buttonselections to the Fortranprogram, the buttons could for simplicity be thought of as providing numbers or
small strings who should be sent to the Fortranprogram by clicking.

Every kind of constructive suggestion is highly appreciated and most welcomme.
If you think you know anything that could be useful or interesting don't 
hesitate do give me an e-buzz:
