I was hoping to get a feel for the state-of-the-art in Fortran to Ada conversion.
Feel free to e-mail, or post to the net, any information regarding either commercially
available or public-domain programs that purport to do Fortran to Ada translation.
In order to be of greatest use, I would imagine a synopsis of one's experience with
the program would be most beneficial, if in fact there is any experience to speak of.
Thanks in advance,

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.
