Reguarding RATFOR on an 8088 system, there is a small outfit in El Cerrito, CA (Carousel Microtools, 609 Kearney St., 415/528-1300 - no relation to me, address provided for information only) which supplies a complete set of the Software Tools (a much expanded version of the original Kernighan and Plauger set). Carousel's offering includes all of the primitives (as binary), the shell, RATFOR processor, editor, etc. (as source) for a variety of microcomputer systems, including MS/PC DOS. (I believe that some, if not all, of the more sophisticated primitives, like the dynamic memory allocators, depend upon a particular FORTRAN compiler (Microsoft, I believe).) For anyone who cannot run UNIX on their 8086/8088 system, the Software Tools provide a lot of UNIX style functionality. Bill [johnston@lbl-csam]
