I am looking in to porting some fortran code i have on a sun to an
hp9000 style machine.  I don't have the hp machine yet so i'd like to
find out some things about fortran for the HP in advance because I
might just convert the software to C if it looks like it would be too
much of a hassle to convert sun fortran to HP fortran.

Here are my questions:

	does it some degree of vax/vms-ish support like sun's ?
	    does it have structures ?
	    does it have pointers ?

	Can can you call C functions from fortran and vice-versa ?
	Can can you call fortran functions from C functions ?
	If it exists. Is it is reasonably painless to C <--> Fortran mixing ?

Of course any other information you may find useful i'd be more than happy 
to hear about.

I will summarize here if I get some "i'd like to know about what you hear"
responses.
