Dear Sir
My colleagues and I would like to use GNU Pascal for a 
project that combines modules written using two 
different programming languages, i.e. Fortran 77 and 
Pascal (originally written in pc turbo pascal 5 but 
hopefully available in GNU pascal). The software would 
run on unix platforms.

For this purpose the fortran 77 source code (written 
for unix) would have to be extended for a subroutine 
that (i) calls the module written in pascal and (ii) 
passes various program parameters, variables, and 
arrays onto that module. After performing various 
calculations the pascal module would then have to 
return other variables required by the fortran module. 
This bi-directional data exchange would have to be 
performed for every (time) step of the dynamic 
simulation process.

Please, could you let me know, whether or not it is 
(in principle) possible to call subroutines available 
in GNU pascal from routines written in Fortran 77 and 
exchange data between the modules as described above? 
Answering these two questions would help us a lot.

Thanking in anticipation.
Best regards
Dusan Fiala
