It's been out a long while. It's now available bundled with some of the MetaComCo stuff (in particular the new Lattice C) but I believe that Kuma still do it separately as well. Don't have a clue what it costs, but must be cheaper than a new compiler. It produces (by switch option) appropriate 'include' type files for C, FORTRAN, and 2 other languages which I've conveniently forgotten -- in addition to the expected .RSC file. Will also produce a 'non-specific structured description' file (they say, I've never tried this) which is alleged to be pretty easy to massage into an appropriate 'include' for any unsupported language you might like. The documentation is written in a bit of a 'too-folksy' style for my liking, but the program is pretty intuitive to use which makes up for some of that. It does, however, assume that you have some sort of a clue as to what the various resource items/flags mean and do -- it doesn't teach you how to use RSC files or what they mean, but rather gives a handle for making them.
