You start out talking about "translation," but then you bring up the issue
of "conversion."  There is a big difference between the two.  Translation
will produce a FORTRAN structured software system with Ada syntax.  Conver-
sion will produce an Ada system taking advantage of the features of Ada
such as packages, generics, private types, and tasking.  I believe there are
translators on the market, but I have not as yet heard of any successful
conversion product.
