But since it was also invented back in the days of half-ascii and upper-case only line printers, it's history has been FORTRAN. As for ForTran to Ada translators, I asked this question a while ago. I got some very kind responses from several people, but I found two problems: 1) No major "commercial" products and 2) Nobody claiming it would do the whole job automatically, or even very well. (You get AdaTran at best) Someone (forget who, but maybe he'll respond again) has rights to some translator that came from General Electric (The lightbulb guys who *didn't* get the ATF engine - not that I'm gloating or anything like that ;-) I recall he was looking for an opportunity to take it commercial, so there might be some hope of getting a supported product. If you hear of anything - I still have the potential issue, so keep me on the posts.
