DMS parses many langauges, automatically builds compiler data structures (ASTs), applies analyses and source-to-source transformations, and prettyprints the results. DMS presently knows both Fortran and Ada, but has not yet been given a translation map between the two. This isn't a small effort to do, but it is much smaller than attempting to build such a translator from scratch or from ad hoc pieces. So it makes sense if you have a large source base to translate, or you want to ensure a reliable translation. See http://www.semdesigns.com/Products/DMS/DMSToolkit.html. There are some slides there showing how DMS can be used for porting. -- Ira D.
