ratfor was a preprocessor written in fortran, for fortran, which we
don't have, and gave us lots of
useful tools like, um, ed, and, uh, grep, uh, nroff and, uh, and ...
oh we have those already right?
I don't get the point of ratfor at all. It was originally to give
non-Unix people a taste of Unix.
Don't get me wrong, I used and loved those tools, but that was a generation ago.
But it's dead now, and the reasons for its existence don't apply to Plan 9.
We've got enough to do without any more Lazarus projects.
