As is mentioned in the comments in f2a.pl, the script
is not meant to deliver a one-hundred percent automatic
translation. Instead, it just does most of the primitive
substitution work in going from Fortran to Ada.

I actually see this is an *advantage* -- the programmer
is forced to rethink the overall design and the logic
of the program. That's usually what should be done
anyway in goingfrom one programming language to another.

Apart from that, for2ada95 is also still in development,
and I will try to fix the problems you report.
