Yes...it would be interesting to see if anybody was able to
create Ada "rep specs" out of Jovial compool sources. And then there is
that array order thingy. Have you tried a Deja News search? Seem
to recall a few years ago some posts claiming some success in
doing such a machine translation. Personally never have been
convinced that an automatic conversion would be truly worthwhile.
Wouldn't it not, in fact, be better to bite the bullet and have an
intelligent S/W engineer read the original code and requirements, and
then re-engineer a cleaner, more maintainable, solution in Ada!
