I dimly recall that.  The feeling I get isn't good.

Actually, I didn't like RATFOR all that much, but it was a darned sight
better than plain Fortran, and "Software Tools" was one of those books
that did some major rearranging of my notions about programming.  But I
was perfectly happy to drop it like a stone when I got access to a
usable C compiler a little later.  Well, it seemed usuable at the
time...
