The Ratfor preprocessor that comes with UNIX is written in C.  There is also
a Ratfor preprocessor written in Ratfor in Chapter 9 of *Software Tools* by
Kernighan and Plauger.  The book says that "All of the programs described in
this book are available in machine-readable from from Addison-Wesley."  I
believe that the Software Tools User's Group, or whoever distributes the
Software Tools software kit, has a Ratfor preprocessor in Ratfor or in
post-processed Ratfor (i.e., Fortran).
