- Having spent many years studying this problem, my two cents of advice is
- this. If you must use translators, you should have one developed that is
- specific to the types of Fortran codes being translated. I have seen this
- be helpful for Fortran to Ada and Jovial to Ada conversions. There are a
- variety of text transformation tools available over the Internet which can
- handle Fortran and Ada grammars. Choose one, adapt it to the languages you
- are using, and hard code in stuf to handle the stuff that is difficult to
- translate.
- This is not a very classy approach to this problem, but it works.
