Ratfor (Rational Fortran) is a programming language that is essentially a mix of C and FORTRAN. It "compiles" to the latter.

[edit] Extensions
Ratfor seems to have been labled with the extensions ".ratfor"[3] and ".r"[4].
[edit] Example
This example was taken from the 1980 United States Geological Survey implementation of the Network-Day Tape format[3]. It has not been tested before inclusion here.
subroutine prbuf(idata)
#
# (A long documentation comment - stripped from the example in the Formats Wiki)
#
integer*2 idata(1) # DATA RECORD - INPUT
# SET TO HOLD 16000 BITS OF TAPE INPUT RECORD
#
integer*2 i
integer*2 j
integer*2 ibuff(80)
#
do i = 1,25 {
call getlin(idata, i, ibuff)
write(6, 10) (ibuff(j), j=1,80)
10 format(1x, 80a1)
}
#
return
#
end
