|Hi,
|The c-library function ascii (see man) does what ichar does (but you may want
|the input to be a string (delineated by ", not '). I haven't tested it.
|Going the other way ???
|And they said you could do ANYTHING in C!
|But do I misunderstand? If you're asking "where are the f77 functions char
|and ichar, they certainly are there. We use them all the time. Perhaps you
|are using a compilation option that's 'hiding' them? For E871, we use the
|compilation options -fno-automatic -fno-second-underscore -fdollar-ok
|-ff90-intrinsics-hide.
|Howard Rubin
At least on the SGI computers, the ascii man page is just an ASCII _table_.
As I stated previously, the C language does not need such functions as the
operations are part of the language itself (the type conversion between
integers and chars).
