I have a client that has built its entire enterprise in Fortran. They use a Fortran buffer to interface with the outside world via packing and unpacking. Does Tamino support the Fortran buffer structure? How? Are there any other alternatives. Could they write a C or Java application to communicate to Tamino and pass control over to the Fortran buffer?
No It doesnāt as far as I know.
I donāt think it would be impossible to do. Does Fortan still work on 8Bit characters? My last encounter with Fortran was an interface to a Siemens DB in Fortran 77 in 1983 -so Iām abit Rusty - I donāt even have the Manual.
We could do it one two ways - build a interface so that Fortan calls tamino and there is a layer in between that translates - or a contorlling program calls Tamino formats the data into lines (like Card input) maybe in a file and then tells Fortran to process that file.
What is the data like?

I suppose this is Fortran on NT? How āliberalā is this Fortran. Fortran on OpenVMS was quite āgenerousā. Are you able to perform HTTP from this Fortran? Failing that HTTP <-> Tamino from C is a possibility.
