I tried to use EFL 1-1/2 years ago, but found bugs that made it
unusable.  (I can't remember a whole lot, but it did have to do
with improper allocation of space.  Also, there was no way to use
the Fortran "parameter" statement, which was a pain.)  It happened
that the fellow who wrote EFL visited Cornell at that time, and when
we asked him about how to fix it he couldn't help us.  ("Yeah, well,
it was my first compiler...")  So I gave up on EFL and switched to
Ratfor.  I am the only one at Cornell (I'm pretty sure) who tried
to use it; I haven't heard of anyone successfully using it since
then.
