Maybe you're talking about something different, but the Coco/R i have was written
by Hanspeter Moessenboeck at ETH (one of the original authors of Coco). There

I'm glad to see TopSpeed on the net. Is this the promised Compuserve 
connection?

TopSpeed of all people should be able to easily produce a translator since you 
use a common code generator between C and M2 ...

Is it worth it? What about companies who state that they would like to use a 
safer language but they have a large commitment in existing C source. You 
partially address this already. 
(shame that you only ship TS calling convention C libraries. This precludes 
simple linking with 3rd party C and causes all sorts of headaches)

"Fortran 90" appears nowhere in the title of ISO/IEC 1539:1991.
Drafts of ISO/IEC 1539:1991 used the title "Fortran 90".  If
you are still using one of the drafts, you might want to plunk
down the $153 dollars to get the approved standard.

The title of ISO/IEC 1539:1991 is

*Information technology - Programming languages - Fortran*.

There is no "90" there.

That depends on your implementation.  In Harris Fortran 77 you can
declare a function as CEXTERNAL and then call it using %VAL() to pass
arguments by value rather than reference.

	cexternal setpriority
	integer*4 setpriority, prio_user, status
	parameter (prio_user=2)

	status = setpriority (%val(prio_user), %val(5005), %val(3))

    Do you mean that you end up with an nx3 matrix that looks like:

    a1   b1   c1
    a2   b2   c2
...
    aN   bN   cN

or a matrix that looks like:

    b1   c1    0    0   ....
    a2   b2   c2    0   ....
     0   a3   b3   c3   ....
...
     0    0  ...        0   aN   bN


The second is typical of finite difference and finite element methods,
and is referred to as a tri-diagonal matrix. Many numerical methods
texts should give a selection of rapid solution techniques for tri-
diagonal systems.

CORRECTION to my previous post:

Fact #1

An nxn linear system Ax=b has a unique solution if
and only if A is nonsingular.

Fact #2

An mxn (where m .ne. n) linear system Ax=b has either 
no solution (termed "inconsistent") or an infinite number 
of solutions.

Fact #3

The best you can do is a "least squares" solution.
Notation: A' = transpose of A
          A^ = inverse of A 
          ||x|| = Euclidean norm of the vector x
Say you want to solve Ax=b where A is nx3
==> A'Ax = A'b  (these are the "normal equations")
    If the columns of A are linearly independent, then the
    3x3 matrix A'A is nonsingular.
==> x = (A'A)^A'b, i.e., x is the unique solution to the 
    normal equations and the unique least squares solution
    to Ax=b.
    
Definition of a least squares solution:
 x is least squares solution if and only if
 ||Ax - b|| .le. ||Az - b|| for all other vectors z.
                   ^ ---> NOTE this correction.

This will work fine as long as you directly link the object file; some
UNIX systems will not be able to extract a BLOCK DATA routine from
a library, even if you give the BLOCK DATA a name. Sometimes you can
get around this by putting an EXTERNAL statement in the main program
which names the BLOCK DATA, but some compilers eliminate the external
reference if you don't actually call the routine (or at least use the
external name in a subroutine call).

A third possibility: the concepts of the language are new, and so the
terms "easy to learn/use/describe" are not yet applicable. When we all
understand what virtual methods, templates, overloading, private|protected|
public, friend, class, etc. mean, *then* the issues will be well defined.

Me, I'm just lurking on the C++ fora, tryina figure it out...

According to the FORTRAN 77 standard (and also Fortran 90), the only place
that a variable in a COMMON block may be data-initialized is in a BLOCK DATA
subprogram.  So if you want your COMMON data to have an initial value when the
program starts, use a BLOCK DATA; a BLOCK DATA subprogram has no executable
part and is "linked" in with the rest of your program.  The initialization
typically happens at compile-time, though all that's required is that it
happen before execution starts.

Many implementations allow you to data-initialize COMMONs outside of a
BLOCK DATA.  If you use this extension, make very sure that ONE AND ONLY ONE
program unit initializes a given COMMON block, or else you're sure to see
some rather interesting and unpredictable results.

As far as I know STRUCTURE in the form you use it here is a VMS

No.  You must be thinking that f90 will emulate APL in all of its "glory". 
In APL, the line 
                   B (leftarrow) 1/A 

would give you the inverse of A.

Is it possible to call a C subroutine from fortran 77?
If so, how can that be done?

thanks.

Since you haven't been very specific as to the type of matrices
you're trying to invert, why not just try the "Numerical Recipes" codes.
