That perl script will do the job:

ftp://ftp.usafa.af.mil/pub/dfcs/carlisle/f2ada.pl

I have used it many times to translate numerical code.

To be sure: find (even by testing) the precision of the fortran floats
and specify it with a "delta" in Ada.
In general (but to verify), FORTRAN real is Ada float; double or real*8
is long_float, etc. On DEC AXP machines it's the case. You can even
interface built-in FORTRAN routines (like Lapack) with your Ada code.
