Does anyone know of a Fortran Compiler that intergrates with C on a Sun
better than the Sun compilers?

I'm looking for a Microsoft-like Fortran compiler, in that strings can be
readily passed between Fortran and C routines without modifying a C
library. Sun's compiler's require heavy modification to a C library when
called from Fortran.

Does such a beast exist for the Sun? Or does someone know of a Fortran/C
compiler pair that'll work?
