Some folks here have need for the floating point speed of Fortran
but would rather not write a complete mac interface in MacFortran
if possible, so...
- Has anyone succeded in calling the fortran fp routines from another
  lanquage?
- Anyone written speedy fp routines in assembly they'd like to share?
- Is there a Fortran compatible with MPW?
- Is McFace so nice that writing an interface in Fortran is a pleasant
  and rewarding experience?
- Is there another solution I'm missing?  Please note that hardware
upgrades are not acceptable. They want their program to perform
reasonably on a vanilla Mac.
thanks in advance for any and all info..
