I compiled ratfor the other day on an RS/6000 running 3002 (I think).
It built without a problem, and it even worked (to some extent) in
translating the test.r program into FORTRAN (which I compiled with
xlf).

The goofiness:  the program writes the FORTRAN code to the outfile,
then writes ad infinitum some character sequence.  This is what od -d
says it is:

	0000000  08224 08224 08224 65535 65535 65535 65535 65535
	0000020  65535 65535 65535 65535 65535 65535 65535 65535
	*
	0000100  65535 65535 65535 65535 02592 08224 08224 08447
	0000120  65535 65535 65535 65535 65535 65535 65535 65535

Has anyone successfully worked around this problem?  I snagged the
sources from a comp.sources.unix archive somewhere.

Regards,

Rob
